A vital feature of engineering and systems design. Often now called FMEA, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.

a) For example, 'what if today's computer backup is not available?'.

Should lead you to multiple backups, off-site storage, and so on.

b) Many industrial machines, from cooking fryers upwards have heaters on all the time, controlled by a thermostat. Q 'What happens if the thermostat sticks in the ON position?'.

Should lead you to a separate thermal measurement, independent of the first, and so on up to automatic cooling/fire suppression systems.

The Failure Mode, is a different set of thinking tools, to those of Effects Analysis.
