Proof test coverage
Something that always makes me pause when reviewing designs… Proof test coverage that somehow always ends up being 100% effective. On paper it looks great. The numbers work nicely. The SIL calculation passes comfortably. But in the real world I always find myself thinking: Can we really detecting every dangerous failure with that test? In my experience, this is a major cause of rework. If the design progresses to the point where commissioning documents are written and then a FSA or design review reveals overly optimistic proof test coverage it’s a lot of work to correct. Anyone else experiencing this?

@Richard Kelly when you get the information is it in the form of a raw calculation from a software package or a report where the values are justified and the calculation is attached
