Read OriginalThis article summarizes a keynote by safety engineering expert Nancy Leveson at ICSE 2020. It covers core concepts of software and systems safety, explaining that accidents often stem from flawed requirements and complex component interactions, not just software bugs. Leveson argues that safety and reliability are distinct, using examples like a missile test and the Ariane 5 failure to illustrate how reliable systems can be unsafe.
