Safety and reliability are two important aspects of science and technology. They are highly related, and they complement each other, i.e. they provide each other with more information than could be obtained individually. When safety and reliability are performed in collaboration, better and more efficient products can be produced. In this module, we focus on one important aspect of safety, i.e.…
