Systems assurance
Encyclopedia
Systems assurance is the planned and systematic set of activities that assure systems engineering
processes and products conform with systems requirements for safety, reliability, availability, maintainability, standards, procedures, and regulations.
Systems assurance:
A number of methods are available which provide evidence that the specified requirements are met, including Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs), Fault and Event Tree Analysis (ETA and FTA) and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
Technical assurance is the process, by which through the application of domain knowledge the technical integrity of a product or system is achieved, maintained and complies with the agreed strategy and standards.

Engineering is the discipline, art, skill and profession of acquiring and applying scientific, mathematical, economic, social, and practical knowledge, in order to design and build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes that safely realize improvements to the lives of...
processes and products conform with systems requirements for safety, reliability, availability, maintainability, standards, procedures, and regulations.
Systems assurance:
- assures processes and products meet their specified requirements, are consistent, complete, correct as warranted for the system and operating environment, and satisfies stakeholder needs; and
- enables proactive identification and addresses areas of inadequate analysis, deficient risk mitigation plans, certification/verification inadequacies, or process/product non-compliances having the potential to impact safety, reliability, availability, maintainability, or overall mission-assured success.
