Abstract

The traditional development lifecycle using existing methods of system engineering results in:

  • Assurance-related post-unit test software rework at 50% of total system cost and growing.
  • Labor-intensive system safety analysis without addressing software as a major hazard source.
  • High percentage of operator workarounds for software fixes due to high recertification costs.
