Achieving Functional Safety in Safety-critical Embedded Systems
As manufacturers are adding more and more embedded technology and software to their devices in practically all industries, ensuring the safety and dependability of these software-imbued products is becoming a pressing issue – and as a consequence, a hot topic among product developers worldwide. Safety and reliability are vital considerations when it comes to devices…
ALM Software for Software Quality Assurance (SQA)
One of the biggest concerns of the CTO at any enterprise stepping into realm of software development, is how to ensure that they will get the features required within the final product. This is especially true for projects where functional safety is an issue; this would include mission critical software for medical devices, the automotive…
Safety Critical System Development: Regulations and Compliance
The one thing that all safety critical systems have in common, no matter the intended industry, is that they are always heavily regulated and require certification against industry standards by the relevant governing body. Compliance requirements for a wide range of complex standards provides a similar set of challenges for business, that if incorrectly gauged…
Using Root Cause Analysis to Drive Process Improvement
RCA (Root Cause Analysis) is a deductive safety engineering method used to analyze a problem, identify its causes and the measures that could be taken to prevent it from occurring again (with this latter step, the method is extended to Root Cause Corrective Action, or RCCA). Originating from aeronautical engineering, this technique is applied in…
