New software standards needed to ensure safety and accuracy in analysis.
Developers need to update software standards to fit the unique nature of analysis software. Current standards are mainly designed for safety-critical software, like in airplanes or medical devices, but analysis software has different characteristics. If analysis software provides incorrect data, it can lead to faulty decisions, affecting safety. Existing standards for analysis software are based on those for other types of software, but they need to be tailored to its specific needs.
