A well-known assessment of the success of software project is the CHAOS Manifest of the Standish Group, http / / standishgroup. cora, but it has also been criticised by a number of sources, many of which can be found by simply Google on standish report . However, there seems to be no doubt about the fact that large software projects have had a relatively poor rate of completion on time, within budget, and to agreed performance criteria, whatever may be valid reasons for this 

Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is a well-established process, documented in numerous textbooks and articles, and supported by different many tools. The best introduction is to look it up in Wikipedia,

Data Item Descriptions (DIDs) were originatly defined as part of MIL-STD-498, which consisted of two parts. Overview and Tailoring Guidebook and Application and Reference Guidebook, and aimed at software development. However, the concept has proved to be of enduring value and applicability, and current defence contracts often require compliance with a large number of DIDs
