Abstract :
The article describes requirements for and implementation of an error classification methodology for high integrity systems. It is largely based on a software error classification scheme recommended for nuclear power safety systems. The emphasis is on the purposes of the classification, the required data, and their logical ordering. There is no intention to propose a specific data format or database management system. Nevertheless, it is very convenient to adopt the terminology of a generic database manager
