[SystemSafety] Statistical Assessment of SW With Deliberate Unreliability for a SIL requirement

[jean-louis Boulanger]

I am surprised ....

I read "Can such SW be presented as "black box" with statistical evidence
of its fitness for purpose, and accepted for use based on the statistical
assessment?"

For software it's not possible to have statistical evidence.
the failure is 1 (yes the software have fault and failure appear)

The DAL/SSIL ... help us to replace statistical by confidence level

for unspecified cod,n deactivated code e and/or dead code ... we have some
recommandation related to the design assurance level
