Safety goals without failures

Explanation:

A search will be made for functions, defined as safety goals via the properties dialog, that have no failures assigned

Example:

030_SE

  • In the above structure,  it is possible to see which functions which are safety goals. You can also see which functions are assigned failures and which are not. The base functions BFn1, BFn2, BFn3 and BFn4 are linked respectively to the functions Fn1, Fn2, Fn3 and Fn4 of which are in turn linked to the top functions TFn1, TFn2, TFn3 and TFn4.  This can be seen more clearly in the following function graph links.

030_Safety-goal

  • The aim of this Quality Rule is to find functions with safety goals which have no failures. To set a safety goal to a function, you can use e.g. the properties dialog.
  • In this example, there are four functions with safety goals assigned.

TFn4 and Fn4 are both hits for this Quality Rule as they both have safety goals as functions and have no failures assigned.
