Patterns of Software Defect Data on Spacecraft
نویسنده
چکیده
The identification of patterns of software defect data yields insights into improving the quality of both operational and future spacecraft. Recent investigations of software defect data at Jet Propulsion Laboratoly has revealed both expected and unexpected patterns of defect data. This paper describes the results of applying this technique to both post-launch (operational) and pre-launch (developmental) spacecraft. It then describes four key challenges that remain to achieving fuller utilization of defect analysis

An Early Look at COQUALMO in the JPL Environment
This paper will describe the initial efforts to validate and calibrate the COQALMO model within the JPL environment. The risk to JPL software projects precipitated by higher than expected defect densities late in the software lifecycle impact spacecraWmissions in several ways. Among them are risks of missing “hard” schedule deadlines, which may be dictated by immovable launch dates and the timi...
متن کاملExperience Report : Contributions of SFMEA to RequirementsAnalysisRobyn
This experience report describes the lessons learned from the use of Software Failure Modes and EEects Analysis (SFMEA) for requirements analysis of critical spacecraft software. The SFMEA process was found to be successful in identifying some ambiguous , inconsistent, and missing requirements. More importantly, the SFMEA process, followed by a backward analysis somewhat similar to Fault Tree A...
متن کاملAutonomous Learning Agent System for Spacecraft Telemetry Processing
Automation of spacecraft operations can provide a substantial reduction in ground support and program costs. Here, we develop an autonomous spacecraft telemetry processing system consisting of an off-line architecture for the generation and analysis of learned patterns in the telemetry stream and an on-line mechanism for automated event and alert notification. Our system draws on the embedded k...
متن کاملThe Design and Implementation of Workflow Engine for Spacecraft Automatic Testing
Spacecraft software automatic testing plays an essential role in spacecraft testing field for a decade. However, less attention has been paid on it based on workflow methodology. In this paper we introduce workflow technology into testing for improving the automation of spacecraft software testing. Firstly we present a spacecraft testing process definition language STPDL. Then workflow patterns...

Feature Product family engineering permits soft ware component reuse, which saves both time and money. To succeed, the process must suppor t variabilit y among the family's systems. The authors developed a simple method that uses patterns to model variabilit y and applied it to development of spacecraft mission-planning systems. or each of its spacecraft, the European Space Operations Centre (E...
