Whether they operate in the medical, automotive, avionics, or any other field, developers of safety-critical embedded systems understand the importance of quality assurance, risk and process control, and artifact traceability. Current trends in these industries predict that the challenges of complexity brought about by IoT connectivity, smart system of systems products, and embedded software will become even greater. To tackle these challenges, developers have to come up with innovative strategies to ensure the functional safety and reliability of their products. In this webinar, we focus on the tools, processes and techniques around requirements and testing that are considered vital to ensuring functional safety in embedded systems. Adequate requirements definition, requirements-based testing, risk management, and test coverage analysis are a few of the techniques that help achieve functional safety in the development of such systems. Our webinar helps s to learn more about ensuring the safety of your mission-critical end products.

Achieving Functional Safety in Safety-Critical Embedded Systems
Functional Safety 101
• What is safety?
• “Freedom from unacceptable risk of physical injury or of damage to
the health of people, either directly, or indirectly as a result of
damage to property or to the environment.”
• What is functional safety?
• “The part of the overall safety that depends on a system or
equipment operating correctly in response to its inputs. It is the
detection of a potentially dangerous condition resulting in the
activation of a protective or corrective device or mechanism to
prevent hazardous events arising or providing mitigation to reduce
the consequence of the hazardous event.”

Achieving Functional Safety in Safety-Critical Embedded Systems
Functional Safety 101
• Functional safety relies on active systems
• Safety achieved by measures that rely on passive
systems is not functional safety
