Reliability, maintainability, and software quality
have to be built into complex equipment and systems
during the design and development phase. This has to be supported by
analytical investigations
(Chaps. 2, 4, 6) as well as by
design guidelines
and
tests
(Chaps. 5, 3, 7, 8). Developing design guidelines demands practical experience and engineering feeling. Adherence to such guidelines limits the influence of those aspects which can invalidate the models assumed for analytical investigations, and improve the
inherent
reliability, maintainability, and safety of both hardware & software. Each industry producing equipment and systems with high reliability (RAMS) requirements is aware of the necessity for such guidelines.
