DESCRIPTION
This is a mature, comprehensive and very practical course. HCRQ's expertise in software safety dates back to 1986 (the THERAC-25).
Software engineering techniques are described for developing safe software, and case studies are presented regarding catastrophic situations that resulted from software faults that could have been avoided. Specific techniques of hazard analysis, failure and fault detection, fault tolerance, and effective mitigations within the software engineering paradigm are discussed.
One of the benefits of this course is that it covers:
This is of particular interest to organizations such as:
Also covered are preferred programming languages, language subsets, operating systems, etc.. In terms of languages in our past we have used assembly language, C, C++, Ada, Pascal, Modula-2, and FORTRAN.
This software safety course also includes first-hand insight into software-related accidents and lessons learned.
If you are interested in the Joint Software Systems Safety Engineering Handbook, IEEE 1228, AMCOM 385-17, AOP-52, NASA Software Safety Standard, NASA Software Safety Guidebook, Software Safety Integrity Levels to name just a few, this course is for you. We will discuss RTCA DO-178C as well.
During our course, emphasis on different topics varies depending on audience interest and on the safety-critical sector. Within some areas, particular audiences will have no interest, partial interest or great interest. Course recipients sometimes inform us in advance of their desired emphasis so that the instructor will arrive prepared and additional pertinent material brought to the course. When the recipients are unsure, the instructor has sufficient insight into all of the safety-critical sectors such that he can dynamically adjust the course appropriately.
This software safety course has been attended by many large organizations from around the world. Some of the organizations include FRA, FAA, General Dynamics, L3, Lloyd's Register, Lockheed Martin, NAVAIR, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Raytheon, Rockwell, Sikorsky Aircraft, Bell Helicopter, Westland Helicopters, U.S. Army (AMCOM, CECOM, TACOM, etc.), U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, Ministry Of Defence (MOD), Siemens, NASA Johnson Space Center, and NAV Canada.
Another organization was Spar Aerospace (now MD Robotics) who developed the Mobile Servicing System (MSS), an essential component of the International Space Station. We taught them 3 courses.
