Traditionally, promoted by the internet companies, continuous delivery is more and more appealing to industries which develop systems with safety-critical functions. Since safety-critical systems must meet regulatory requirements and require specific (re-)certification processes in addition to the normal development steps, enabling continuous delivery of software in safety-critical systems requires to solve specific challenges. In this paper, we describe relevant challenges for realizing continuous delivery in software-intensive safety-critical systems, and sketch a roadmap how to implement such a continuous delivery pipeline using an incremental approach.
