SQUALE dependability assessment criteria

摘要

The aim of the SQUALE project is to develop assessment criteria to obtain a justified cofidence that a system will achieve, during its operational life and its disposal, the dependability objectives assigned to it. The SQUALE criteria differe from traditional evaluation methods (security evaluation criteria, standards for the design, development and validation of safety criticl systems), by: 1) their independence with respect to the application domains and industrial sectors, 2) their ability to address all dependability attributes, and 3) their progressiveness as a function of more or less strict requirements.
