: 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.
: Applied specifically during the coding phase to identify defects in implementation and calculate a Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each.
: 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
