Abstract: Fault tree analysis is an effective method to improve system safety and reliability.However,traditional ma-nual fault tree generation is difficult to solve the problem of large scale and complexity of system and error-prone.In order to systematically support system faults modeling and formal analysis,a fault tree generation method based on fault configuration was proposed in this paper by introducing variability management form software product line into system faults modeling.Firstly,we defined fault feature diagram for describing the constraints among faults and proposed fault labeled transition system based on Kripke structure to describe system behavior.Secondly,a model checking procedure of generating fault tree was established based on the model semantics.Finally,using model checker SNIP,the safety properties specified with temporal logic were verified and fault tree was generated based on the result.Case study shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
