These checklists can be used by developers as guidance for coding or for peer review checklists as well as by assurance and safety personnel to check that best practices have been followed. Although many of these checklists are designed for use with safety-critical software, a majority of the practices are applicable for all software.

Checklists are organized into categories. Some checklists may appear in more than one category:

Planning
Off-the Shelf
Peer Reviews/Inspections/Audits
SA Work Products- Audits
SA Work Products/Assessments
Safety Checklists
Safety/Safety Analysis
SA Documents/Minimum Content
Requirements/Requirements Analysis
Design/Design Analysis
Implementation/Code Analysis
Configuration Management
Test Related/Test Related Analysis
Others:
Metrics
Maintenance
