Abstract :
A software safety handbook developed for system safety engineers to use in tailoring, planning, and executing a software safety policy is presented. The handbook provides background information, program considerations, how-to sections on software analysis, design and code walkthrough checklists, and supplementary reading. It is asserted that many directives, current analysis techniques, and databases for hardware system safety are usable, with some modification, for software safety determination
