Guidelines to Understanding Design of Experiment and Reliability Predictionijsrd.com
This paper will focus on how to plan experiments effectively and how to analyse data correctly. Practical and correct methods for analysing data from life testing will also be provided. This paper gives an extensive overview of reliability issues, definitions and prediction methods currently used in the industry. It defines different methods and correlations between these methods in order to make reliability comparison statements from different manufacturers' in easy way that may use different prediction methods and databases for failure rates. The paper finds however such comparison very difficult and risky unless the conditions for the reliability statements are scrutinized and analysed in detail.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

App c howtowritea_goodrequirement
1. Appendix C: How to Write a Good Requirement
Use of Correct Terms
Shall = requirement
zz Will = facts or declaration of purpose
zz Should = goal
zz
Editorial Checklist
Personnel Requirement
1. The requirement is in the form “responsible party shall perform such and such.” In other words, use the active,
rather than the passive voice. A requirement must state who shall (do, perform, provide, weigh, or other verb) followed by a description of what must be performed.
Product Requirement
1. The requirement is in the form “product ABC shall XYZ.” A requirement must state “The product shall” (do, perform, provide, weigh, or other verb) followed by a description of what must be done.
2. The requirement uses consistent terminology to refer to the product and its lower level entities.
3. Complete with tolerances for qualitative/performance values (e.g., less than, greater than or equal to, plus or minus,
3 sigma root sum squares).
4. Is the requirement free of implementation? (Requirements should state WHAT is needed, NOT HOW to provide
it; i.e., state the problem not the solution. Ask, “Why do you need the requirement?” The answer may point to the
real requirement.)
5. Free of descriptions of operations? (Is this a need the product must satisfy or an activity involving the product? Sentences like “The operator shall…” are almost always operational statements not requirements.)
Example Product Requirements
The system shall operate at a power level of…
The software shall acquire data from the…
zz The structure shall withstand loads of…
zz The hardware shall have a mass of…
zz
zz
General Goodness Checklist
1. The requirement is grammatically correct.
2. The requirement is free of typos, misspellings, and punctuation errors.
3. The requirement complies with the project’s template and style rules.
4. The requirement is stated positively (as opposed to negatively, i.e., “shall not”).
5. The use of “To Be Determined” (TBD) values should be minimized. It is better to use a best estimate for a value
and mark it “To Be Resolved” (TBR) with the rationale along with what must be done to eliminate the TBR, who is
responsible for its elimination, and by when it must be eliminated.
6. The requirement is accompanied by an intelligible rationale, including any assumptions. Can you validate (concur
with) the assumptions? Assumptions must be confirmed before baselining.
7. The requirement is located in the proper section of the document (e.g., not in an appendix).
NASA Systems Engineering Handbook 279
2. Appendix C: How to Write a Good Requirement
Requirements Validation Checklist
Clarity
1. Are the requirements clear and unambiguous? (Are all aspects of the requirement understandable and not subject
to misinterpretation? Is the requirement free from indefinite pronouns (this, these) and ambiguous terms (e.g., “as
appropriate,” “etc.,” “and/or,” “but not limited to”)?)
2. Are the requirements concise and simple?
3. Do the requirements express only one thought per requirement statement, a standalone statement as opposed to
multiple requirements in a single statement, or a paragraph that contains both requirements and rationale?
4. Does the requirement statement have one subject and one predicate?
Completeness
1. Are requirements stated as completely as possible? Have all incomplete requirements been captured as TBDs or
TBRs and a complete listing of them maintained with the requirements?
2. Are any requirements missing? For example have any of the following requirements areas been overlooked: functional, performance, interface, environment (development, manufacturing, test, transport, storage, operations),
facility (manufacturing, test, storage, operations), transportation (among areas for manufacturing, assembling, delivery points, within storage facilities, loading), training, personnel, operability, safety, security, appearance and
physical characteristics, and design.
3. Have all assumptions been explicitly stated?
Compliance
1. Are all requirements at the correct level (e.g., system, segment, element, subsystem)?
2. Are requirements free of implementation specifics? (Requirements should state what is needed, not how to provide it.)
3. Are requirements free of descriptions of operations? (Don’t mix operation with requirements: update the ConOps
instead.)
Consistency
1. Are the requirements stated consistently without contradicting themselves or the requirements of related systems?
2. Is the terminology consistent with the user and sponsor’s terminology? With the project glossary?
3. Is the terminology consistently used through out the document?
4. Are the key terms included in the project’s glossary?
Traceability
1. Are all requirements needed? Is each requirement necessary to meet the parent requirement? Is each requirement
a needed function or characteristic? Distinguish between needs and wants. If it is not necessary, it is not a requirement. Ask, “What is the worst that could happen if the requirement was not included?”
2. Are all requirements (functions, structures, and constraints) bidirectionally traceable to higher level requirements
or mission or system-of-interest scope (i.e., need(s), goals, objectives, constraints, or concept of operations)?
3. Is each requirement stated in such a manner that it can be uniquely referenced (e.g., each requirement is uniquely
numbered) in subordinate documents?
Correctness
1. Is each requirement correct?
2. Is each stated assumption correct? Assumptions must be confirmed before the document can be baselined.
3. Are the requirements technically feasible?
280 NASA Systems Engineering Handbook
3. Appendix C: How to Write a Good Requirement
Functionality
1. Are all described functions necessary and together sufficient to meet mission and system goals and objectives?
Performance
1. Are all required performance specifications and margins listed (e.g., consider timing, throughput, storage size, latency, accuracy and precision)?
2. Is each performance requirement realistic?
3. Are the tolerances overly tight? Are the tolerances defendable and cost-effective? Ask, “What is the worst thing that
could happen if the tolerance was doubled or tripled?”
Interfaces
1. Are all external interfaces clearly defined?
2. Are all internal interfaces clearly defined?
3. Are all interfaces necessary, sufficient, and consistent with each other?
Maintainability
1. Have the requirements for system maintainability been specified in a measurable, verifiable manner?
2. Are requirements written so that ripple effects from changes are minimized (i.e., requirements are as weakly coupled as possible)?
Reliability
1. Are clearly defined, measurable, and verifiable reliability requirements specified?
2. Are there error detection, reporting, handling, and recovery requirements?
3. Are undesired events (e.g., single event upset, data loss or scrambling, operator error) considered and their required responses specified?
4. Have assumptions about the intended sequence of functions been stated? Are these sequences required?
5. Do these requirements adequately address the survivability after a software or hardware fault of the system from the
point of view of hardware, software, operations, personnel and procedures?
Verifiability/Testability
1. Can the system be tested, demonstrated, inspected, or analyzed to show that it satisfies requirements? Can this be
done at the level of the system at which the requirement is stated? Does a means exist to measure the accomplishment of the requirement and verify compliance? Can the criteria for verification be stated?
2. Are the requirements stated precisely to facilitate specification of system test success criteria and requirements?
3. Are the requirements free of unverifiable terms (e.g., flexible, easy, sufficient, safe, ad hoc, adequate, accommodate,
user-friendly, usable, when required, if required, appropriate, fast, portable, light-weight, small, large, maximize,
minimize, sufficient, robust, quickly, easily, clearly, other “ly” words, other “ize” words)?
Data Usage
1. Where applicable, are “don’t care” conditions truly “don’t care”? (“Don’t care” values identify cases when the value
of a condition or flag is irrelevant, even though the value may be important for other cases.) Are “don’t care” conditions values explicitly stated? (Correct identification of “don’t care” values may improve a design’s portability.)
