Software Engineering Standards – Overview

The goal of software development processes and software coding and development standards is to achieve a sophisticated software design quality with respect to maintainability and a high SW operational reliability under all nominal and system failure conditions. For satellite OBSW it has to be considered in addition that the satellite design typically is only single failure tolerant and that the satellite cannot be contacted again without running OBSW – except for the limited scope controllable via High Priority Commands.
