Abstract
The term “Duty Cycle” has been used widely on the daily basis in many industries for various purposes in both technical and marketing/sales communities. People also use this term to design reliability testing, quantify stress acceleration factor (AF), predict product reliability, and conduct field warranty projection. However, there have been tremendous confusion and misunderstanding about this term over the years. The purpose of this paper is to provide clarification and standardize the quantified definitions for various intended product duty cycles. The impact of various duty cycle definitions on product reliability, and their correlation with reliability calculations are also investigated.
A Novel View of Applying FMECA to Software Engineering

Presenter:
Robert Stoddard
Abstract
This webinar will enlighten your view of how traditional Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) may be applied to software engineering in novel ways. Robert Stoddard will share concrete methods and insights based on experience piloting such techniques within Motorola Solutions and, subsequently, offered as a refined methodology to other clients. Robert will also compare and contrast Software FMECA with traditional hardware and systems FMECA and provide a glimpse into methods that will be tentatively offered as a pre-conference, one-day tutorial at the upcoming January, 2014 Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS). Lastly, Robert published a chapter on Software FMECA within a 2012 book, edited by IEEE authors, Raheja and Gullo, entitled “Design for Reliability”.
· Understanding how FMECA may be used within software development
· Gaining insight to the various software artifacts that may be included
· Recognizing key aspects for adoption of SW FMECA
