ISO 13849 Safety of machinery – Software development

ISO 13849 Safety of machinery, describes the requirements for the functional safety of machines. The safety standards in the field of machinery are divided into Type A, Type B and Type C standards. ISO 13849 is a Type B standard. For machines that are covered by the scope of a Type C standard and that […]

Structural Source Code Coverage – Cost without benefit?

Structural Source Code Coverage: Are you working in software projects where functional safety is becoming more and more important? The use of IEC 61508, ISO 26262 or a comparable standard is around the corner or you are already in the middle of such a project? In these cases you have probably already encountered the term […]

ISO 26262 Safety Case – Success factors: management and traceability!

The term Safety Case is used in the automotive industry and railway industry (EN50129). The following article focuses on the automotive industry. Project experience shows that the achievement of a proven functionally safe system is complex and extensive. This is particularly true if the development of a product is spread over several companies. I will […]

Requirement and Test Traceability – Any added value?

Requirement and Test Traceability: Think about the following situation: You are near the end of your safety-related project and you have established traceability between all the project artifacts. In an audit (e.g. Internal Quality Assurance, Customer, External Authority) you have to demonstrate which software requirements are developed from which System Requirements. Each software requirement is […]

ISO 26262 ASIL Decomposition – Pros and Cons!

ISO 26262 ASIL Decomposition: Part 9 of ISO26262 defines a scheme for dividing a requirement with a specific ASIL level into two requirements with lower ASIL levels. In the following blog post I will address the question when the ASIL decomposition can be applied in practice and what are the advantages. At the same time, […]

EN 50128 and EN 50657 support tools

Chapter 6.7 of EN 50128 and EN 50657 support tools and languages defines requirements for software tools that are used in a safety-relevant development process. Project team members in safety projects discuss the content and meaning of this chapter again and again. The following article summarizes the essential requirements and derives a practical guide for […]

Requirement completeness using data- and control flow analysis

Carrying out a data- and control flow analysis is required in almost all functional safety standards (ISO 26262-6 Table 7 Measures 1f/g, DO 178C Table A-7 Measure 8 and EN 50128, EN 50657Table A19 Measures3/4). In comparison to other measures, the data and control flow analysis causes a lot of questions, when it comes to […]

The non-intrusive measurement of structural coverage!

The measurement of structural source code coverage is nowadays defined as an important procedure in many functional safety standards. The non-intrusive measurement of structural coverage offers completely new possibilities in the future. For a long time, it was industry-wide consensus that structural coverage should and could only be determined in so-called white-box tests. In many […]

Functional Safety Basic Standard IEC 61508

The Functional Safety Basic Standard IEC 61508 is often referred to as the mother of all functional safety standards. This standard was introduced in 1998 with the intention of defining cross-industry processes and methods to be used for safety-relevant electrical, electronic and programmable electronic systems. IEC61508 is applied if no industry-specific standards are available for […]

IEC 61508 – Tool qualification – When? Why? How?

The term tool qualification triggers an unpleasant feeling and uncertainty in many people who deal with functional safety. IEC61508 requires the certification of software tools used for software development. Other functional safety standards also require similar measures. Unfortunately, however, the same terms are not always used. IEC61508 uses the term “certified tools”, often the term […]
