Question

Is Visual Studio ISO26262 certified?

Cesar Palomino 0

Hello Microsoft Q&A team,

I would like to know if the Visual Studio Professional application is ISO26262 certified.

I found this link with the Compliance Offerings ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/regulatory/offering-home ) but it does not include Visual Studio.

Could you help me to answer my inquire or direct me to a Microsoft link were this information is kept.

Thank you!

Hello @Cesar Palomino ,

I checked the wiki page and it seems to be the 'Road vehicles – Functional safety' standard.

Visual Studio is an application to write applications in various programming languages:

Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs including websites, web apps, web services and mobile apps.

I expected this question more on the specific programming languages and underlying compilers and runtimes.

Are you sure Visual Studio (as a host application that connects compilers and code editors) should implement this standard?

If the response helped, do "Accept Answer". If it doesn't work, please let us know the progress. All community members with similar issues will benefit by doing so. Your contribution is highly appreciated.

Yes. That is our expectation.

According to the ISO 26262-8:2018, chapter 11 (Confidence in use of software tools) - associated tools used in development of a system or its software or hardware elements require confidence that these tools achieve goals defined by ISO 26262.

Please keep in mind that my interest here is just to know if Visual Studio is or is not ISO26262 certified as there is not sufficient information available (or an easy way to find this information) within the Visual Studio documentation.

Hi @Cesar Palomino ,

I remember that Azure DevOps achieved this certification, but there’s no information/documentation/blog about Visual Studio. I would suggest you also submit a ticket and ask this question on Developer Community(directly confirm this with VS Product Team).
