ISO 26262, an automotive functional safety standard, ensures the functional safety of automotive systems by providing requirements and processes to govern the software lifecycle. Each functional system must be classified in terms of safety goals, risks, and automotive safety integrity level (ASIL: A, B, C, and D), with ASIL D, denoting the most stringent safety level. As the risk of the system increases, the ASIL level increases, and the standard highly recommends more stringent methods to ensure safety. ISO 26262 highly recommends that ASIL C and D-classified systems utilize semiformal and formal verification among other techniques to verify software unit design and implementation. In this paper, we compare industrial design verification steps of WatchDog Manager in an effort to be ASIL B-compliant with a proposed nondisruptive methodology to semiformally verify WatchDog Manager UML design via an automated formal framework backbone. This semiformal verification framework will allow automotive software to comply with ASILs C and D formal and semiformal unit design and implementation verification recommended guidelines in ISO 26262. Semiformal UML finite-state machines are automatically compiled into formal notations based on the Symbolic Analysis Laboratory formal notation. We capture requirements in the UML design and compile them automatically into theorems. Model checkers are run against the compiled formal model and theorems to detect counterexamples that violate the requirements in the UML model. We show that semi-formal verification of the design allows us to uncover issues that were detected in testing and production stages of ASIL B-compliant Watchdog Manager existing implementation.
