TEAMS Modeling Tips: Direct Tests

Are you finding it cumbersome to create a test that only detects a single failure mode or failure modes on the same hierarchy level? Try using a Direct Test. A Direct Test has all the functionality of a regular test without the complexity. The complexity is caused by having to create a new unique function and attach it to the tests and applicable failure modes. With Direct Tests all you need to do is specify which failure modes are detected by the test, eliminating the need to create and attach a new function to the failure modes and test. Try it!
