Malfunction or failure of safety-critical systems can endanger people’s lives and environment. These systems include nuclear railway control systems, power station control, patient monitors in hospitals, aviation control systems, space shuttles, and military devices. These systems are tested for early identification of hazards in the development life-cycle. Various companies provide software and tools to test the safety-critical software and are available at varying prices.
Use of safety critical solutions in diverse verticals is a major factor fueling the market. For instance, these solutions have been deployed in health care in life support systems and to facilitate medical intensive care. These solutions are also used in nuclear engineering and in recreation centers such as amusement rides and parachutes. Aviation, space, and railway industries are using software testing solutions. These systems have become outdated and require modernization. Safety critical software testing software are being deployed for the upgrade of devices to build technologically advanced, secure, and reliable systems.
Advancement in critical communication systems is expected to provide humongous opportunities in safety critical software testing. Critical communication systems are using technologies such as artificial intelligence, Big Data, 5G connectivity, and automation. These safety critical software testing solutions are expected to be deployed in these systems to make the communication process more reliable. This is anticipated to drive the safety critical software testing spending in the near future. The cost of implementation of safety critical software restrict the market. Furthermore, cybersecurity is a major concern for vendors in the implementation of safety critical software. Data security issues are estimated to hinder the market during the forecast period.
