Sneak Analysis Application Guidelines

Abstract

Sneak analysis is an engineering tool which can used to identify designed-in conditions that can inhibit desired system functions resulting in lower operational reliability. The objective of this study was to develop guidelines for applying sneak analysis to hardware and software contracts in a cost effective manner. Specific guidelines for establishment of sneak analysis requirements, monitoring of sneak analysis efforts, determining program costs, evaluation criteria and determining candidate equipments have been defined. Criteria for tailoring the guidelines to the program needs have also been established. A measure of sneak analysis effectiveness was determined which shows excellent results in early program development phases including improved system reliability. (Author)
