While the main argument directly addresses system safety or security, the purpose of the confidence argument is to answer the question why we should trust that the main argument is right. Some standards and guidelines, and also some certifiers require […]

SPI indicators in dynamic assurance cases
Assurance cases are used not only during system development but also during operation. For many systems, Safety Performance Indicators (SPIs) are used in this context. They are used to monitor and report the system safety performance over time. They help to identify whether safety goals are being achieved and provide early warning signals of emerging […]

Building strong assurance cases
Strong assurance cases are achieved by building confidence in the validity of reasoning steps and demonstrating how defeaters are handled. These two approaches present two different directions of argumentation. The first one focuses on providing sound basis for the argument while the second aims at defending it against known defeaters. Which approach is more effective […]
