In 2010, the author was approached with a query from industry concerning the application of IEC 61508-7:2010 Annex D, on the statistical evaluation of software. We realised that Annex D is not a helpful guide for a number of reasons. We discuss some common assessment scenarios and their quandaries and requirements for the application of statistical methods based on Bernoulli/Poisson mathematics.
