  1. Safety Critical Systems By Charlie Phillips

  2. Introduction • A safety critical system is a system whose failure may result in injury, loss of life, or serious environmental damage. • “Lives have depended on mathematical calculations for centuries” • Modern Safety-Critical systems include transportation devices like cars, trains, planes, life support systems, and power plants.

  3. Statistics • “Highway fatalities account for more than 94% of all transportation deaths.” • modern cars have safety systems like airbags, and daytime running lights. • Systems like airbags are tested using crash tests and crash test dummies.

  4. Testing • Crash test dummies • One thing used when designing new planes and space craft is a flight simulator program, and wind tunnels.

  5. Testing • “The Advanced Concepts Flight Simulator (ACFS) is used to test planes. • This system is based on current airplanes like the Boeing 747, but can be adjusted for the Space Shuttle or new aerospace prototypes

  6. Testing • the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) required a commercial airline to spend seven weeks testing code that was only twenty thousand lines long.

  7. Structural Testing • Structural testing can be broken down into three parts: • Statement coverage • Branch testing • Path testing

  8. Statement Coverage • This part of structural testing ensures that every statement is covered. • Makes sure there is no unreachable code. • Makes sure a line of code doesn’t crash the program.

  9. Branch Testing • This section requires us to test every branch in the code. • There are multiple ways to get through a branch. • One way may lead to unexpected errors.

  10. Path testing • We also must test every path through the program. • A statement can be reached from different paths.

  11. Cost • Safety critical systems are expensive to make. • Statistical studies show that approximately 4 million dollars should be spent to save just one life. • Crash test dummies cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each. • The cost of fixing a defect before it is used in a real life situation is approximately ten thousand dollars.

  12. Conclusion • We all use safety critical systems. • Testing is a big part of ensuring a safety critical system works properly. • Cost more to make, but they can save lives.
