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.
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.

Famous quotes containing the words systems and/or assurance:
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“Let no one presume to give the feelings of a young woman on receiving the assurance of that affection of which she has scarcely allowed herself to entertain a hope.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
