Safety critical embedded software is a specific type of embedded software that needs to provide correct functionality to avoid loss of human life. Embedded software controls much of the functionalities in Medical, Automotive, Aerospace and Cyber-Physical-Systems. The development of embedded software is different from ordinary software development as such development needs to be coordinated with the hardware development. Additionally, regulation processes and audits are also in place before placing the products to market. The objectives of this study are to understand the challenges of embedded safety critical software development, to investigate agile practices which have been in use in the domain, the factors affecting agile implementation in embedded safety critical software development. We have performed a systematic review and a mapping study to achieve these objectives. This paper outlines the result of the systematic review and mapping study.
