Abstract
This paper presents a literature review on using agile for safety-critical systems (SCSs). We have systematically selected and evaluated relevant literature to find out major areas of concern for adapting agile in the development of SCSs. In the paper, we have listed the most used Agile process models and reasons for their suitability for SCS, then we have outlined phases of the software development life cycle (SDLC) where changes are required to make an agile process suitable for the development of SCSs. Thirdly, we have elaborated on problems and other important aspects according to specific domains where agile is used for SCS. This paper serves as an insight into the latest trends and problems regarding the use of Agile process models to develop SCSs.
