EVALUATION OF SOFTWARE PROGRAMS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH FUNCTIONAL SAFETY

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a device, system, and/or method for evaluating functional safety compliance for a software program against a plurality of requirements. The device includes a processor that determines a plurality of implementation values for developing the software program. Each implementation value of the plurality of implementation values is associated with a corresponding requirement of the plurality of requirements, and each implementation value is determined based on a level of compliance of the software program to the corresponding requirement. The device also determines a risk priority number for the software program based on an aggregation of the plurality of implementation values. The risk priority number may also be based on a severity value and/or a detectability value. The device also determines a safety score for the software program based on whether the risk priority number satisfies a predefined threshold.
