Abstract
The science of dependability is closely linked to the mastering of faults and their internal and external effects. It firstly implies the analysis of destructive mechanisms (problem identification). They were studied in the previous chapters. Then, protection methods (use of means) must be proposed. This aspect is introduced in this chapter. Finally, one must assess the efficiency of the use of these methods on the dependability of the final product. This last aspect (performance evaluation) is exposed in Chapter 7.
