Abstract :
An approach to life-cycle management of software safety, continuing into the operational phases, is discussed. It is based on defect prevention, early-defect detection and removal, and critical-path analysis, with continuous measurement, analysis and evaluation taking place throughout the life cycle. This approach also takes into account the possibility that those responsible for software safety might not have strong software-analysis backgrounds nor the time to perform all of the software safety-related activities themselves.<>
