Quality Engineering for Mission-Critical Software Systems

Abstract

Mission-critical software systems play a pivotal role in domains where reliability, safety, and performance are paramount. This paper explores the principles and practices of Quality Engineering specifically tailored for mission-critical software systems. The study delves into the challenges unique to these systems, such as stringent reliability requirements, regulatory compliance, and the need for robust fault tolerance. Through a comprehensive review of literature and case studies, this paper synthesizes key insights into the methodologies, tools, and best practices essential for ensuring the highest quality standards in the development, testing, and maintenance of mission-critical software systems. By addressing the distinctive challenges of these systems, organizations can enhance their ability to deliver software solutions that meet stringent mission-critical requirements while maintaining optimal performance and reliability.
