Abstract :
The software systems safety discipline is discussed, along with the various areas where human errors impact the design and development of software-controlled systems. Techniques used in software systems safety, as set forth in MIL-STD-882B, are also discussed along with a recommendation for an early, integrated software systems safety and human factors analysis of the software-user interface. The article forms the basis for recommended modifications to Task 306 of MIL-STD-882B.<>
