Assurance case automation in CI/CD pipelines
The use of CI/CD tools (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment) is increasingly common in the development of critical systems. The same CI/CD pipelines can also be used to automate the creation and maintenance of assurance cases including the argument structure and evidence, and also for the argument verification and status data updating. CI/CD process and […]

Eliminative argumentation is an alternative approach to building an assurance case. The argument is typically constructed positively and focuses on demonstrating why we believe the goal has been achieved. Eliminative argumentation relies on the constant questioning of “what if?”.

Managing system limitations in safety assurance cases (SOTIF)
Safety cases are usually based on functional safety arguments to demonstrate that failures will not result in hazardous situations. But accidents may have causes related to the system behaviour different than failures. This is where SOTIF comes in. This stands for Safety of the Intended Functionality. What does it mean? It covers mitigation of hazard […]
