Center for High Integrity Software System Assurance: Initial Goals and Activities

摘要

To enable the U.S. software industry to build high integrity software and toprovide U.S. industries and government confidence in the software systems on which they are dependent, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) created the Center for High Integrity Software System Assurance (CHISSA) to establish measurements and software methods for software assurance for use by those who build these systems. The measurements and associated methods will be embodied in a software development and assurance framework that will enable CHISSA to guide research in development, analysis, and testing techniques, to promote research in measurement and experimentation in the software engineering domain to be able to measure the impact of new high-integrity techniques, to accelerate use of effective technology into industry, and to develop standards and guidelines in cooperation with industry, other Federal agencies, and the research community.
