NASA's Software Assurance Standard

NASA's Software Assurance Standard is a set of guidelines ensuring that software used in their space missions is reliable, secure, and functions correctly. It involves systematic processes for designing, testing, reviewing, and maintaining software to prevent errors and vulnerabilities. The goal is to minimize risks associated with software failures that could jeopardize mission success or safety. By following these standards, NASA ensures that software meets high quality and safety requirements throughout its development lifecycle, providing confidence that mission-critical systems perform as intended under demanding conditions.
