Safety Analysis of C code though Reverse Engineering

a medini solution case study

Software is increasingly making its way into embedded devices in mission- and safety-critical domains such as the automotive, avionics or railway industry. Assessing and managing the risk that is inherent in software realizing safety-critical control functions is a key requirement in engineering hybrid systems. This case study reports on a solution carried out to perform fault analysis and criticality analysis of existing source code (C code) for ECU’s in cars. Since software is extremely sensitive to errors and testing can never be exhaustive to detect and eliminate every harmful behaviour of code, the motivation is to find failure causes by applying the quantitative risk method FTA on component configuration level. For this purpose, the manual written C code is reversely transformed into a data-flow model used for further safety analysis. > Link to

Process, Project and Artifact Management

a medini solution case study

When it comes to the topic of efficient process management, the monitoring of the consistency of work products, the automation of development steps and the assurance of safety and quality are key requirements of OEMs and suppliers. In addition, producers of safety critical software based functions have to be compliant with international standards such as ISO CD 26262. Process management for the development of electronic control units and on-board networks for automotive applications should also cover the adoption of precise analysis & design methods and practices for safety critical software. Such safety standards require vendors to carry out their development projects according to pre-defined development processes, and to improve the processes themselves continuously based on experiences from projects. > Link to
