Résumé / Abstract
IN 1993, UNDER THE EUROPEAN ESPRIT PROGRAMME THE CERTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY-CRITICAL APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT (CASCADE) WAS SET UP TO FORMULATE, EVALUATE AND DEVELOP, THROUGH REAL APPLICATIONS, A HARMONISED GENERALISED ASSESSMENT METHOD (GAM) FOR SOFTWARE INTENSIVE SAFETY CRITICAL APPLICATIONS, SO THAT ANY SYSTEM CAN BE ASSESSED BY ANY APPROVED ASSESSOR, IN ANY EUROPEAN COUNTRY, USING THE GAM AND THE RESULTS OF THE ASSESSMENT WILL BE UNIFORM, RECOGNISED AND ACCEPTABLE TO ALL. THE GAM IS DIVIDED INTO TWO MAIN FUNCTIONAL PARTS. THE GAM RULES FORM A NORMATIVE PART OF THE GAM AND THE GAM GUIDELINES PROVIDE BOTH THE ASSESSOR AND THE SUPPLIER WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE IN THE INTERPRETATION OF THE GAM RULES. THIS DOCUMENT PRESENTS THE FIRST PART OF THE PUBLIC VERSION OF THE CASCADE GENERALISED ASSESSMENT METHOD (GAM) [GUIDELINES]. THE GAM RULES DOCUMENT IS AIMED AT THE ASSESSOR WHO WILL PROGRESS AN ASSESSMENT BASED ON THE CASCADE GAM AND CONTAINS ASSESSMENT PRINCIPLES EXTRACTED FROM THE GAM GUIDELINES DOCUMENTS. EACH PRINCIPLE DEFINES THE HIGH LEVEL REQUIREMENTS THAT THE ITEM UNDER ASSESSMENT MUST FULFIL. THIS IS A TOP LEVEL DOCUMENT TO BE USED DURING A GAM ASSESSMENT.. THE ASSESSOR WILL DEVELOP DETAILED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA FROM GAM GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS., RAPPORT DE CONTRAT
