Addressing Functional Safety with Rust

As the Rust programming language becomes more popular in safety-critical applications, the approach to the software design process must change. This in turn affects the way that functional safety is addressed.

Functional safety standards do not specify a particular programming language — but most do require the use of coding guidelines and a language subset (mainly due to known insufficiencies in C and C++). Using Rust to achieve functional safety enables sections of the standards to be covered by the language itself, but there are still undefined behaviors and a need for a core set of guidelines.

In this webinar, Perforce Director of Compliance Jill Britton will discuss:

• How Rust changes the focus of achieving functional safety from using coding guidelines to meeting requirements directly with the language.
• Determining whether all the requirements are relevant to a project using Rust. 
• Tooling considerations to provide evidence and reporting that the functional safety requirements have been met.
