Session 2: FEA quick sanity checks
30 minutes presentation, 30 minutes curated Q and A
Making sure we don’t fall into the trap:
“Garbage in – Garbage out” is vital in FEA.
I show some sanity checks we can use in static and dynamic analysis to quickly make sure we are on the right track.
These checks can be very basic, they don’t prove the answers are right – but they can show if they are very wrong!
Several examples are shown in the presentation, then the session opens up for questions.
- What are you favorite quick checks?
- Do you have any examples of where this kind of check saved your reputation – or even your job?
Here is your chance to learn some new ideas, pass on tips, or generally join in the discussion!
