Question 1.
What does fault coverage mean?
Show hintHide hint
Think about it in terms of a test catching all possible issues.
Question 2.
Why is accuracy in fault models important?
Show hintHide hint
Remember how we discussed the impact on system reliability?
3Question 3.
What is the main limitation of fault modeling and simulation?
- They are always accurate
- They may not detect every complex fault
- They are too simple
Show hintHide hint
Think about how systems can fail in unexpected ways.
4Question 4.
True or False: Fault simulation tools have no limitations at all.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on what we’ve discussed regarding faults.
Question 5.
Design a fault detection strategy for a complex system, considering at least three different types of faults.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how combining different methods improves coverage and reduces risk.
Question 6.
Analyze the trade-offs between computational cost and fault coverage in simulations, proposing solutions for balancing them.
Show hintHide hint
Think about prioritizing significant areas of the circuit for testing.
