Abstract :
This paper presents a new method to evaluate software safety using rough set theory. The data about the software product and process are collected via a questionnaire. The result is the direct assessment of the software safety in terms of a single coefficient, whose goodness is then analyzed using rough sets. An automatic tool for the Windows platform has been developed to help in the interactive analysis. Results from a real experiment of software safety evaluation are discussed
