Question 06: Why is it called tool validation?

What does it mean to validate a tool, and what to verify it — and where do we find these terms in tool qualification prescribed by the ISO 26262 safety standard? In this short question episode Dr. Oscar Slotosch clarifies common misunderstandings and explains when it is appropriate to perform a code review, and when a tool should be tested. To learn more about how tool validation is used in practice, join us in our Episode 20: SuperTest with Marcel Beemster (Solid Sands), to hear more customer experiences from Validas’s Robert Reitmeier, tune in to Episode 24: Tool Chain Modeling with Robert Reitmeier, and if you would like to listen to another one of our short question episodes, we can recommend Question 05: What do we mean by high probability in tool qualification?
