ASSURANCE AND EVIDENCE Sample Clauses

ASSURANCE AND EVIDENCE. Assurance is about gaining confidence. Depending on the context, this could be confidence in the system as a product, or confidence in the operation of the system in a given environment. In the context of safety and security, assurance is our confidence that the safety or security risks associated with the system have been reduced to a tolerable level. Assurance requires evidence, which can take many forms and is generated during the product development or operation of the system. For example, evidence from the development of a system would include the usual engineering documentation such as requirements specification, analysis and design documents, test specifications, implementation artefacts such as source code, and outputs from any verification or validation activities. Evidence from the operation of the system might include configuration data, change management history, performance statistics, incident logs and reports. The degree of confidence that can be obtained in the assurance of a system depends not only on the strength of the claim that the evidence supports (or rebuts) but also on the extent to which the evidence itself is trustworthy. Thus, there needs to be confidence in the process for gathering, recording and maintaining evidence. Moreover, there needs to be some scientific basis for the techniques that are used to analyze the evidence and the conclusions that are drawn from this analysis.
