Description
Summary:In this article we investigate the problem of applying agile practices into safetycriticalprojects. The goal of our research is to investigate potential benefitsfrom introducing agile practices into safety-critical environment and to present asolution providing for balancing agile approach with more disciplined assurancetechniques, bringing the best of the two worlds together. In this article wepresent the supporting ideas such as assurance argument patterns along witha case study. The case study investigates how software engineers perceive risksassociated with the introduction of agile practices and collect their ideas on howthese risks could be mitigated.
