== Definition == '''Software-of-unknown-pedigree''' ('''SOUP''') is a term often used in the milieu of safety-critical and safety-involved systems. SOUP is [[software]] that has not been developed to known [[standard]]s; [[software]] which has unknown or no safety-related properties. == Overview == The problem with SOUP is that (a) it cannot be relied upon to perform safety-related functions, and (b) it may prevent other [[software]], [[hardware]] or [[firmware]] from performing their safety-related functions. The SOUP problem is one of insulating the safety-involved parts of a system from the SOUP and its undesirable effects. {{Wikipedia|SOUP}} [[Category:Software]] [[Category:Definition]]
