Software Risk Analysis Methodology

A NEW PARTNERING OPPORTUNITY


Reference No: NNJ14ZBH004L


Potential Commercial Applications: Department of Defense (DoD), commercial space, automotive industry, clean energy industries, and others

Keywords: software, reliability, remote, automation, probabilistic risk assessment, failure probability models


Purpose:
JSC is seeking to further develop NASA JSC’s current Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) methodology, which utilizes placeholder risk values to represent the risk of losing a mission due to software/automation. These placeholder values are based on general, high-level assessments and are not program/software specific during the design process. As future space programs utilize more automated processes, a need exists to meet the challenge of identifying more specific software risk contributors.

Technology:
NASA JSC has been working to better understand the risk of software as a contributor in future space missions and to advance current technologies to address the risks of software required functionality that would be compatible and consistent with the standard PRA methodology currently employed by NASA JSC. Given a generic application of software across industries, the same can be said and a substantial application of this methodology can be foreseen.

R&D Status:
The current toolset includes the Space Shuttle Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) methodology. Initial research for this technology has begun; no development initiatives to date.
Intellectual Property (IP):

This Partner relationship may produce new IP that could be jointly owned by NASA and the partner or may become the property of the partner.
