Abstract
Many engineering systems, especially those required to be dependable, undergo inspections and assessments of safeness and fitness for purpose. Often some form of certificate is provided by the assessment authority. To an increasing degree these systems are beginning to contain software components. The paper explores the feasibility and limitations of software assessment and outlines an approach to software assessment that is being developed by Lloyd´s Register
