Abstract
A description is given of general safety requirements for systems and relates software development with respect to requirements. The author details issues of how safety aspects of software can be brought up to the level of safety required for systems. In so doing, he contrasts standard system safety techniques for electromechanical systems with system-level approach considerations for software-controlled systems, and contrasts software safety with other software quality programs
