How to Tackle Software Testing & Regulatory Compliance for IEC 61508

Industrial software systems that run manufacturing robots, electrical elevators, and even your street traffic lights have become very complex. As these types of systems increase in functional capabilities, become connected, and get smart, safety is no longer the only challenge to address. Protecting against threats and vulnerabilities with security controls is just as important.

Are you developing software for a programmable electronic safety related system? Developing safety- and security-critical software isn’t easy, but there’s a way to overcome the challenges. Automation through CI/CD modern software development practices can be part of it. Learn how to accelerate and cut costs in the delivery of software that needs to be safe, secure, and compliant to IEC 61508.

Key Takeaways

• Exploring the IEC 61508 standard and related secure coding standards.
• Using static analysis, unit testing, code coverage for programmable electronic systems.
• Incorporating regulatory safety & security requirements into the SDLC.
