Fault Tree Analysis(FTA) builds fault trees to perform safety analysis of systems. However, building fault trees depends on domain knowledge and expertize on target systems and consumes lots of time and efforts. In this paper, we propose a technique that builds fault trees systematically based on state-transition models which are software design artifacts. For the end, this paper identifies conditions that should be satisfied to guarantee safety of state-transition models and develop templates for fault tree construction. This paper also describes the results of appling the proposed method to railway crossing control system.
