A Model-Driven Engineering Framework to Support the Functional Safety Process

Abstract

The design of safety-related systems traditionally has long and costly development cycles due to the highly manual safety engineering process, which is guided by industry standards. In this paper, we present a modelling framework that supports DevOps principles of continuous testing and fast development iterations for the design of safety-critical systems. We show how modelling can help introducing DevOps in the context of functional safety analysis, and we also report how DevOps was used during the development of the framework.
