Safety-Critical Software Development Using Automatic Production Code Generation

When developing software it is important to consider process, methods, and tools. For safety-critical software, standards such as IEC 61508 are often used to impose additional constraints on the development process and require the production of verification evidence and other artifacts. These constraints and artifacts are needed whether or not the design and code were produced manually or via tool automation. This paper discusses the usage of Production Code Generation for safety-critical software development.
