7.4.4 Specific Requirements for Evidence of Reliability
Where feasible, software safety requirements should be stated in probabilistic terms involving time (i.e. that a given failure rate must not be exceeded), and testing or field service experience is to be used to obtain direct evidence of requirements satisfaction. For this evidence to be compelling a statistical confidence of at least 95% should be achieved.
It is expected that an appropriate form of direct evidence will be selected from the following table in order to demonstrate that the specified reliability properties have been satisfied.
Acceptable Sources of Evidence: Reliability (Choose 1 column only from the appropriate row)

AEL 5 ANALYSIS & Field Service Experience & Testing
7.4.4.1 Direct Evidence from Testing for Reliability Arguments and evidence should be available which show that: a) The demands placed on the software were representative of normal operation. b) The tests were sufficient to demonstrate that the reliability attribute of the
software safety requirement is met to a confidence of 95%.
7.4.4.2 Direct Evidence from Field Service Experience for Reliability
Arguments and evidence should be available which show that the failure rate for all safety related failures, observed in field service should not be greater than the allowed failure rates stated in the software safety requirements, to a 95% confidence level.
7.4.4.3 Direct Evidence from Analysis for Reliability
Arguments and evidence should be available which show that there is a low probability of residual faults in the software.
7.4.4.4 Backing Evidence from Analysis of Reliability Arguments and evidence should be available which show that: a) The fault density figures are credible when compared with other projects using a
similar development approach. b) Design and programming standards were in place to: i) Minimise the risk of residual errors remaining in the software (for example, from the use of constructs which are open to misinterpretation, are obscure in meaning, or may lead to programs which are difficult to analyse). ii) Ensure that the clarity and readability of the software design and code are
adequate, as appropriate to the design notations and languages used. c) The design and programming standards were adhered to. d) Mechanisms were in place to detect software faults at each stage of development. e) The fault-detection mechanisms were effective at each stage of development.
7.4.5 Specific Requirements for Evidence of Accuracy
It is expected that an appropriate form of direct evidence will be selected from the following table in order to demonstrate that the specified accuracy properties have been satisfied.
