IEEE Std 1228-1994 IEEE Standard for Software Safety Plans -Description

Abstract: The minimum acceptable requirements for the content of a software safety plan are established. This standard applies to the software safety plan used for the development, procurement, maintenance, and retirement of safety-critical software. This standard requires that the plan be prepared within the context of the system safety program. Only the safety aspects of the software are included. This standard does not contain special provisions required for software used in distributed systems or in parallel processors.

Keywords: safety-critical software, software safety plan, software safety program, safety requirements
