Reliability and Safety Engineering for Safety Critical Systems: An Interview Study With Industry Practitioners
Pooja Singh, Lalit Kumar Singh
Abstract
Reliability and safety have always been the main focus while developing safety critical systems (SCS). In this article, we have conducted a rigorous study and discussions with experienced practitioners worldwide the strategy for the development of SCS to investigate the several aspects related to reliability and safety analysis for SCS. We discussed with 21 practitioners from ten different organizations with the intention of knowing their approach they use day-to-day for the development of such systems. The aim of this research is to obtain an in-depth understanding of how reliability and safety engineering are carried out in the industries that develop SCS.
