EN 50716
Ensure compliance with EN 50128 or EN 50716, the newest standard for rail industry software development, using Parasoft’s advanced testing solutions. Streamline your software life cycle processes. Achieve compliance efficiently with automated tools.
EN 50128 and present-day EN 50716 are international standards that define the software development life cycle requirements for safety-critical systems in the rail industry. They emphasize the development of safe and reliable software through risk management, documentation, and systematic processes to ensure passenger and system safety.
Adhere to stringent software life cycle requirements, manage risks effectively, and ensure operational safety by mastering the development, verification, and validation processes outlined in the standard.
Guide to Achieving Functional Safety in Railway Software
Achieve compliance by automating critical processes such as static and dynamic analysis, requirements traceability, and code coverage. Using Parasoft’s solutions, teams can reduce development costs, improve software reliability, and streamline certification efforts.
Identify potential errors, vulnerabilities, and standard violations early in the development life cycle with Parasoft’s static analysis for coding standards like MISRA, CERT, and more. Ensure compliance with EN 50716’s emphasis on robust, safe coding practices.
Gain compliance support from the various testing methods Parasoft offers. Ensure safe, secure, and reliable C and C++ applications with requirements traceability and compliance report generation.
Ensure robust software security for safety-critical systems. Integrate compliance with security coding rules and guidelines from standards such as CWE, CERT, OWASP, and MISRA into your static analysis processes.
Identify potential execution paths through a program and track control movement. This enables you to detect dead code or logic and flow-related issues critical to satisfying compliance.
Identify vulnerabilities, including uninitialized variables and injection flaws. Teams can also find unsafe data handling in electronic systems with sensors, control logic, actuators, and microprocessors that require high safety integrity levels.
Enhance static analysis with walkthroughs or the Code Review module. Automate preparation, notifications, and tracking to ensure efficient reviews that align with the standard’s requirements for independent assessment and traceability.
Augment static analysis workflows with artificial intelligence and machine learning. Automate the prioritization of critical issues for the team. GenAI offers explanations and suggestions to fix static analysis violations, streamlining compliance efforts.
Parasoft’s C and C++ software testing framework supports unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and more. It automates test execution to detect issues during runtime, which is essential for satisfying validation needs. Teams can also take advantage of popular frameworks like GoogleTest.
Isolate units with automated stubbing frameworks and mocks to validate behavior across various inputs, ensuring compliance with all EN 50716 or EN 50128 safety integrity levels (SIL).
Generate test cases automatically to cover edge cases and error conditions. This reduces manual effort and increases test coverage to ensure that every line of code is inspected.
Satisfy 100% code coverage requirements with our support for statement, branch, and MC/DC code coverage. Ensure all code paths are tested to meet safety objectives.
Automate bidirectional traceability between requirements, test cases, test results, source code, and code reviews to satisfy risk management objectives. Maintain alignment with the standard’s focus on life cycle documentation and the requirements traceability matrix.
Automatically track progress towards EN 50716 and EN 50128 compliance with dynamic dashboards. Generate reports to demonstrate compliance and address audits. Gain visibility into testing outcomes, even for large or legacy codebases.
Parasoft’s static analysis, unit testing, regression testing, code coverage, and requirements traceability integrate seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines. Teams can also incorporate most of these capabilities into testing frameworks like GoogleTest to ensure reliable, safety-compliant software that’s aligned with EN 50716 and EN 50128.
Our C/C++ testing solutions have been TÜV SÜD certified according to EN 50716 across all software class levels. The compliance certificate satisfies EN 50716 and EN 50128 requirements, so no further action is needed. However, if desired, we offer a tool qualification kit that automates the process for you to perform tool qualification within your development ecosystem.
Teams gain unique advantages for compliance through our comprehensive suite of tools. Automating critical processes like static and dynamic analysis, requirements traceability, and structural code coverage ensures efficient, reliable verification of safety-critical rail industry software. Our solutions integrate seamlessly into existing development environments to streamline workflows and accelerate compliance efforts.
Parasoft’s solutions integrate with embedded IDEs and debuggers, supporting environments like Eclipse, VS Code, QNX technology, Wind River Workbench, and more. Teams can simplify development workflows for complex railway systems.
Leverage Parasoft SOAtest and Virtualize for system-level testing. Automate functional API testing and stabilize dependencies to accelerate EN 50716 and EN 50128 compliance activities.
Reduce the time and cost of compliance with EN 50716 and EN 50128 by automating labor-intensive tasks and getting targeted insights.
When integrating with hardware, ensure accurate and reliable software performance. Test it on the actual target hardware using C/C++ testing tools. This is a must in detecting hardware-specific issues, validating assumptions, and meeting requirements for real-world rail systems.
