Abstract

At least one embodiment of the present invention relates to supporting a safety-oriented system, with the safety-oriented system including safety-critical software components and non-safety-critical software components. In this method, a possibility of a safety-critical software component and a non-safety-critical software component influencing each other is identified and a set of technical measures for preventing the possibility of influencing is defined. In this way, an absence of feedback from non-safety-critical software components to safety-critical software components is both verified and also ensured by at least one embodiment of the present invention.
