Abstract

The safety standard ISO 26262 has reached the status of “committee draft” by now and will have a long-term impact on the software development of safety-relevant functions for automotive control devices. Together with industrial companies, researchers at Fraunhofer IESE are dealing with the issue of how to efficiently evaluate software safety during the course of development in order to ensure that the resulting systems are safe and additional effort can be avoided during analysis.
