Abstract :
This paper describes a technique for software safety analysis which has been developed with the specific aim of feeding into and guiding design development. The method draws on techniques from the chemical industries´ Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis, combining this with work on software failure classification to provide a structured approach to identifying the hazardous failure modes of new software
