Episode 19: Confidence

What is confidence in the safety of tools and libraries, and how do you buy or create it for your own products? Within safety standards, confidence is a clearly defined technical term, but it relies on subjective evaluation — so how can you be confident in the safety of the tools you use? In this episode Dr. Oscar Slotosch explains the importance of confidence for safety-critical projects and reflects on the focus recent safety standards have begun to give it. To learn more about how confidence is determined, listen to our Episode 07: Tool Confidence Level or Episode 35: Tool Confidence — Revisited, and to explore the details of how safety standards define the topic of confidence, check out Episode 06: Safety Standards or Question 05: What do we mean by high probability in tool qualification?
