Episode 16: Library Qualification

Unlike tools, libraries are elements in software development that get directly used in a finished product — therefore, their reliability and safety is paramount. In this episode Dr. Oscar Slotosch introduces you to the topic of library qualification and explains what makes it so crucial. Join us to learn how to safely use publicly available libraries, how Validas qualifies libraries, which special properties must be checked in library qualification, and much more. To go back to the basics and learn more about what makes libraries special in terms of qualification, listen to Episode 02: Definitions, and to learn more about our approach to the qualification of software and safety elements out of context, join us in Episode 41: Validas’s Generic Safety Plan. Your producer and friendly representative of the audience in this episode has been Ivana Kurecic. We can be reached through podcast@validas.de and all information about Validas can be found on our website, validas.de.
