ABSTRACT
The purpose of this document is to recommend a framework for the development and assurance of high integrity software. The framework addresses the fact that these processes must take into account properties and requirements of a high integrity system and the processes and standards used in developing other system components. This framework provides guidance to developers, assurers, and buyers of software, researchers for high integrity software systems, and vendors of Computer Aided Software Engineering tools and integrated environments.

KEYWORDS
High integrity software, project management, software assurance, software configuration management, software development, software hazard analysis, software quality assurance, software verification and validation.
