Erschienen in:

Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of classical system analysis methods. A representative example is given for each of the methods. It is not intended to be sufficient to actually use the method. However, it aids to support the selection of the correct type of method by listing the main analysis objectives of the methods. The categorization of methods in terms of graphical versus tabular, inductive versus deductive, and qualitative versus quantitative is refined by considering implementation examples, phases of developments, and life cycles where the methods are used. Methods covered are fault hazard analysis (FHA), failure modes, and effects analysis method.
