Gap Analysis

Are you planning to enter a domain where compliance to a software standard is mandatory? Could a certification make you more competitive, but you are unsure how much work it would require?

SSF’s Gap Analysis quickly identifies the gap between the requirements of the standard and your current way of developing software.  The final report will provide you with clear recommendations on where improvement is required and represents the first step towards achieving compliance.

We can perform a Gap Analysis against IEC 61508, IEC 61511 or the Galileo Software Standard, to name but a few.

Case

In search of Nuclear Fusion - Department of Intelligent Hydraulics and Automation at Tampere University of Technology

The department of intelligent hydraulics at Tampere University of Technology is developing robotic arms for remote maintenance operations of the fusion reactor developed by the international ITER project. Together with SSF, a gap analysis of IHA’s current software development process was performed against the requirements for software related to nuclear power plants. The gap analysis quickly identified where current practices must be developed. As a result of the gap analysis, a process improvement effort has been initiated.
