Description
Software Root Cause Analysis (with Fault Trees)
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
Everyone knows how things fail right? We know that we often have to deal with defects or design oversights that mean parts rub, crack, or erode quicker than we would like. And then something snaps, breaks or stops conducting, so our product stops working. But then there is software which never fails. And that is because software only fails' when a coding error or bug makes it do something we didn't want it to do. So it's simple human error which we can't model, prevent, or create safeguards to prevent these errors right? Wrong! And that is because software bugs are so common that we know how most of them happen. Which means we can work out what went wrong to allow that bug to happen. And that means we can quickly and efficiently improve software reliability!
This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 23 September 2025.

Fundamentals of Root Cause Analysis
Let's discuss when you have sufficient understanding of a failure mechanism to implement a solution and a few common obstacles to avoid.
Essential Reliability Engineering Concepts
Let's discuss the concept of failures along with a few other concepts universal to reliability engineering.
Preventing Moisture and Corrosion Damage
The goal is to educate the audience on options to prevent electronic equipment failure used in enclosed spaces from corrosion.
What is Fatigue?
Fatigue is interesting in that it allows something to fail without it ever being exposed to stresses that are beyond its strength.
So What is the Root Cause?
This webinar takes you through a framework to explore the understand the root cause of a failure, something we can do something
