Questions and Answers

What are some techniques that can be used for risk identification?

Risk checklists, considering checklists of common categories that negatively impact on projects, and building checklists from corresponding requirements categories.

What are some examples of product-related risks mentioned in the text?

Missing or inadequate functionalities, safety hazards, security threats and vulnerabilities, reliability gaps concerning critical features, information inaccuracy, poor performance, unusability of features, or feature rejection by users.

How can risk checklists be specialized further?

Risk checklists can be specialized further along the taxonomy depicted in Section 1.15, as shown in Figure 15.

What are risk trees and how do they organize failures, causes, and consequences?

<p>Risk trees organize failures, causes, and consequences along causal links. They are used to identify risks through component inspection and can be made more systematic by organizing the information in a structured manner.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What are fault trees and when are they used?

<p>Fault trees are used when the failures relate to safety hazards. They are used to represent the logical combinations of events that can lead to a specific undesired event, in this case, safety hazards within the train control system.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What are threat trees and when are they used?

<p>Threat trees are used when the failures relate to security threats. They are used to represent the logical combinations of events that can lead to specific security threats within the train control system.</p> Signup and view all the answers
