While traditional FMEA focuses on physical hardware, software techniques adapt the methodology to functional logic and code behavior:
: Tools used in the preparation stage to make the software scope visible and define hierarchies for system or design analysis. Comparison: Hardware vs. Software FMEA Software Fmea Techniques
: Uses specific "guide words" (e.g., No, More, Less, Part of) to prompt consistent identification of software-specific failure modes, often used in automotive ISO-26262 development. often used in automotive ISO-26262 development.
