Benjamin Steenhoek

This report extends the work of Rafaila et al, “A Dataset of Open-Source Safety-Critical Software”, with metadata concerning the project’s development practices and safety goals. Our analysis (1) describes the level to which open-source projects seek to meet safety standards and (2) describes the projects’ development practices used to integrate community contributions while maintaining safety standards.
