Software Critical Path Analysis

Identify safety-critical software paths and dependencies. Prioritize analysis, testing, and mechanisms along the paths that matter most for risk.

Identification and analysis of safety-critical software execution paths from safety-related inputs through processing to safety-critical outputs. Employs control flow analysis, data flow analysis, and call graph examination to determine critical paths requiring heightened scrutiny. Supports risk-based prioritization of verification activities, focused code reviews, targeted testing, and strategic placement of safety mechanisms. Essential for optimizing verification effort and ensuring thorough coverage of paths contributing to safety goals.
