NESC Technical Bulletin 23-06:Considerations for Software Fault Prevention and Tolerance

The NESC has released a technical bulletin for the Software Engineering community. Mission or safety-critical spaceflight systems should be developed to both reduce the likelihood of software faults pre-flight and to detect/mitigate the effects of software errors should they occur in-flight.
