TED.Reverse.Troubleshooting

The process of taking something apart and analyzing its workings in detail; usually with the intention to construct a new device or program that does somewhat the same thing.

• engineering design cycle

• technology engineering design

• forward engineering

• reverse engineering

All of these are reasons for reverse engineering except

• To brainstorm on ideas for a new product.

• To gain competitive bench-marking methods to understand competitors’ products and develop better products.

• Some bad features of a product need to be designed out.

• The original design documentation has been lost or never existed

• The original design documentation has been lost or never existed

Reverse engineering includes all of these steps except:

• Creating representations of the system in another form or a higher level of abstraction

• Brainstorming new ideas and analyzing which of these ideas would create the best product.

• Identifying the system's components and their interrelationships

• Creating the physical representation of that system

During the Prediction phase of Reverse Engineering, you do all of the following except:

• Explore the market it was designed to appeal to

• Explore the purpose of this product

• Decide how it meets the design objectives; overall.

• List some of the design objectives for the product

During the Disassemble phase of Reverse Engineering, you answer all of these questions except:

• How many parts?

• How does it work?

• How is it made?

• How many moving parts?

• What market was it designed to appeal to?

Systems and products fail for all of these reasons except

• They are used in ways that exceed what was intended in the design.

• They were poorly designed to begin with.

• They did not come with the correct number of accessories.

• They have faulty or poorly matched parts

Troubleshooting a malfunctioning system do not demand considering the various parts and how those parts affect the entire system.

• True

• False

Troubleshooting diagrams can be all of these except:

• List of questions to answer

• Lists of tests to perform

• Flowcharts

In order for a user to determine how to use a new product that user should depend on the _______

• manual

• quick start sheet

• troubleshooting flowchart

• FAQ's

Companies prevent failures in their products by doing all of the following except:

• redundancy

• add efficiency to the system

• pretesting of parts

• overdesign
