[SystemSafety] Comparing reliability predictions with reality

[Alvery Grazebrook]

Alongside the DO-178C standard, it is important to consider the ARP4754B /
ED-79B
<https://www.eurocae.net/news/posts/2023/december/ed-79b-guidelines-for-development-of-civil-aircraft-and-systems/>
standard
which provides the system level process that leads into the DO-178 / ED-12C
activities for the software part.

Cheers,

Alvery
