BASIL - What's New, What's Next - Luigi Pellecchia, Red Hat

Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST

D204

BASIL is an open source tool developed to design requirements traceability in a collaborative environment.

It supports the manipulation of multiple types of work items, such as Test Cases, Test Specifications, Software Requirements, Justifications, Documents.

It also comes with its own test infrastructure that allows users to run tests against different kind of test environments and provides capabilities to trace test executed on external test infrastructures.

BASIL development is progressing and new features become available weeks after weeks.

After an introduction of the tool for who see it for the first time,

we will go through major changes introduced in the tools as:

- SPDX traceability export in design SBOM based on Model3

- Requirements import

- Test repository scan and test case import

- User files management

- Granular user permissions definition

- External email server configuration for password reset

and through planned development as:

- Hierarchical Document Mapping

- Multiple reference document for each software component

- LAVA test plugin

Identifying Safety Weaknesses and Fault Propagation in the Linux Kernel - Igor Stoppa, NVIDIA

Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST

D204

Given the growing desire to use the Linux kernel in safety-relevant applications, like automotive, it is necessary to perform analysis and tests which are a staple of Functional Safety, but fairly new to Open Source Processes.

One of these is the injection of failures aimed at identifying data structures that might be particularly relevant from a safety perspective. This includes types of failures that would not lead to an immediate, clean crash, but rather to more subtle system degradation, that might be identifiable only when safety goals are compromised.

The methodology, and design presented constitute a tool that can be used to advance the understanding of what it entails to use Linux in safety applications. It could even be plugged into the regular upstream kernel post-release process, so that whenever a new Linux release is tagged, the tool will provide data related to how the new release behaves, when subject to controlled corruption.

From Chaos To Control: Overcoming C++’s Inherent Unsafety - Assaf Tzur-El, Simple. Technology

Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST

D204

C++ offers immense power and flexibility, but its legacy of unsafe constructs and unpredictable behavior exposes developers to memory corruption, inconsistencies, and elusive bugs. From raw pointers to the result of a division by zero, C++ enables high performance – at the cost of safety.

This lecture explores these pitfalls and their impact on software reliability, particularly in safety-critical domains like automotive, aerospace, and medical systems. We then focus on solutions, emphasizing modern practices and the MISRA C++ guidelines, an industry standard for safer, maintainable code.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of C++'s risks, the role of structured guidelines, and practical strategies to improve code safety without sacrificing performance.

Looking at Linux as a SEooC - Kate Stewart, The Linux Foundation & Nicole Pappler, AlektoMetis

Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST

D204

Linux is already being used in Safety Critical applications, mostly as a "Safety Element out of Context". This session provide some background on what this means, and the limitations of this approach. With the velocity of change of the Linux kernel, supporting this mechanism, as well as more detailed approaches is the next frontier for the kernel.
