Abstract: The development of digital safety I&C systems needs a careful consideration of the software qualification. Software qualification has to demonstrate that the software meets requirements given by standards regarding the life cycle, documentation, configuration management, requirements specification, design, implementation, tests, verification and validation (V&V), and the modification procedure. This paper provides fundamentals as well as TÜV Rheinland ISTec’s software V&V procedure and the corresponding activities. The paper is completed by the description of a practical application of ISTec’s approach.
