Excerpt

Software intensive systems, especially those that are deployed in safety or security critical applications, must conform to an increasingly large and complex set of regulatory codes. For example all health-care related products in the USA are governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which requires covered entities to adopt administrative and technical safeguards in order to protect the privacy of personal medical information. Financial software systems in the USA must comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley act of 2002 (SOX), which establishes wide ranging standards for all U.S. public company boards, management, and public accounting firms. Furthermore, safety critical systems often have to satisfy a staggeringly large number of regulatory codes impacting both software and hardware components. These regulations impact almost every part of the system including its electrical, mechanical, operational, and software components. …
