MISRA Activities for Safety-Related Software Development

MISRA (The Motor Industry Software Reliability Association) develops practical guidance to assist the developers of safety-related systems in the automotive industry and other sectors in implementing safe and reliable systems. This paper presents a short overview of MISRA's ongoing activities, with particular emphasis on guidance being produced in two areas: process measures for safety-related systems engineering, and product measures for safety-related systems development. Subsequent papers in the session give more details on these activities.
