Towards Agile Development of Critical Software

The paper presents a case study aiming at collecting opinions of software engineers on the risks related to integration of agile practices to safety-critical software development projects. The study has been performed within the scope of our research targeting at providing critical software developers with a solution allowing to incorporate agile practices into software development process while still being conformant with the software assurance requirements imposed by the application domain. We describe the tasks performed by the participants and the results of these tasks together with the overall conclusions derived during the workshop summarizing the case study.
