What is ISO/IEC TR 24772-2 about?
ISO/IEC TR 24772-2 is an International Standard on programming languages, their environments, and system software interfaces that convert strings, or graphical program elements in the case of visual programming languages, to various kinds of machine code output. ISO/IEC TR 24772-2 is the second part in a multi-series of documents that specifies software programming language vulnerabilities to be avoided in the development of systems where assured behaviour is required for security, safety, mission-critical and business-critical software.
ISO/IEC TR 24772-2 is applicable to the software developed, reviewed, or maintained for any application.
Who is ISO/IEC TR 24772-2 for?
ISO/IEC TR 24772-2 on programming languages is relevant to:
- IT Industry
- Software developers
- Programmers
Why should you use ISO/IEC TR 24772-2?
Ada is a state-of-the-art programming language that development teams worldwide are using for critical software. ISO/IEC TR 24772-2 provides guidance for the programming language Ada so that application developers consider Ada that leads to vulnerabilities in software written in the Ada language and their attendant consequences.
ISO/IEC TR 24772-2 can also be used by developers to select source code evaluation tools that can discover and eliminate some constructs that can lead to vulnerabilities in their software. ISO/IEC TR 24772-2 can also be used in comparison with companion documents and with the language-independent ISO/IEC TR 24772-1, to select a programming language that provides the appropriate level of confidence that anticipated problems can be avoided.
Overall, ISO/IEC TR 24772-2 can help you maintain information systems’ integrity and prevent system failure.
