D-RisQ Ltd CTO Colin O'Halloran will speak at FMICS 2026 on the ERCIM Working Group conference on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems from the 3rd to the 5th of September, 2026.

D-RisQ products have been developed to ease the verification of software design through automation and the exploitation of automatic proof, cutting cost while meeting regulatory needs. Visit our virtual stand at Malvern Festival of Innovation https://virtual.festival-innovation.com/d-risq/ Safety Critical systems software that controls machines, requires high levels of assurance. It must perform and be safe and represents a significant investment in time and budget, in any project or product. This unaffordability is due to multiple factors:  the normal “build then test” approach to software development has limitations that can result in exponential cost,  regulatory assurance expertise can be expensive or not readily available;  automation and connectedness (‘systems of systems’) means that systems are becoming more complex particularly when required to operate autonomously;  the engineering manpower shortage is driving up the cost of software engineering man hours. The Toolsuite provides a solution: Streamlining Clear Requirements: Most software failures stem from inadequate requirements. The Toolsuite supports software engineers by: o Clear Requirements Creation: Using drop-down menus and data dictionaries, developers craft clear and unambiguous requirements. o Verifiable Requirements: all aspects are automatically given a formal specification for verification. o Cascade Effect: Changes made late in development automatically propagate through the software, minimizing manual rework. Formal Methods for Assurance: The Toolsuite leverages formal methods for automatic verification of design, autocode and binary without requiring the developer to be a formal methods expert, and the evidence-based assurance ensures compliance and safety. Cost Reduction and Accessibility: The Toolsuite slashes costs and development timelines by up to 80% through: o Efficiency: Streamlined processes reduce man-hours. o User-Friendly: Less senior talent can use the tools.
