Safety is a paradoxical system property. It remains immaterial,
intangible and invisible until a failure, an accident or a
catastrophy occurs and, too late, reveals its absence. And yet, a
system cannot be relied upon unless its safety can be explained,
demonstrated and certified. The practical and difficult questions
which motivate this study concern the evidence and the arguments
needed to justify the safety of a computer based system, or more
generally its dependability. Dependability is a broad concept
integrating properties such as safety, reliability, availability,
maintainability and other related characteristics of the behaviour
of a system in operation. How can we give the users the assurance
that the system enjoys the required dependability? How should
evidence be presented to certification bodies or regulatory
authorities? What best practices should be applied? How should we
decide whether there is enough evidence to justify the release of
the system? To help answer these daunting questions, a method and a
framework are proposed for the justification of the dependability
of a computer-based system. The approach specifically aims at
dealing with the difficulties raised by the validation of software.
Hence, it should be of wide applicability despite being mainly
based on the experience of assessing Nuclear Power Plant
instrumentation and control systems important to safety. To be
viable, a method must rest on a sound theoretical background.
