Safety standards and regulatory bodies mandate the use of code coverage analysis to ensure a proper degree of testing:
- ISO 26262 – Road vehicles – Functional safety
- EN 50128 – Railway applications
- DO 330 – Aviation systems (DO-178C and DO-278B)
- IEC 61508 – Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems
- FDA – Food and Drug Administration
- IEC 62304 – Medical device software – software life cycle processes
- ISO 13485 – Medical devices — Quality management systems
