| Abstract: | There are many practices that should be avoided in order to enhance the safety features of software systems. The use of safety-critical software is rapidly increasing. Computers are used in safety-critical applications at least in order of magnitude more often compared to a decade ago. Software decisions are often based on economic rather than safety considerations. Safety implications are more difficult to assess. Some industry professionals claim increased use of software increases the safety of the system. |
