[SystemSafety] COTS display certification

[Matthew Squair]

I've always been a bit fuzzy about the next step though. 

If we decide that software will implement this function then the software development processes must satisfy the allocated integrity level. 

From a code/data duality perspective I implement a function in software as a mix of data and code. But I can use varying ratios of the two. Logically any integrity processes need to cover both the code and data 'parts' because it's both that are satisfying the functional requirement. 

But how does one argue equivalence between integrity processes for code and data? At the aggregate level surely you must be making that argument? And that such integrity is independent of potentially varying ratios of the two in any solution?
