Framework for Trustworthy Software Development Intelligent software applications are becoming ubiquitous and pervasive affecting various aspects of our lives and livelihoods. At the same time, the risks to which these systems expose the organizations and end users are growing dramatically. Trustworthiness of software applications is becoming a paramount necessity. Trust is to be regarded as a firstclass citizen in the total product life cycle and should be addressed across all stages of software development. Trust can be looked at from two facets: one at an algorithmic level (e.g., biasfree, discriminationaware, explainable and interpretable techniques) and the other at a process level by making development processes more transparent, auditable, and adhering to regulations and best practices. In this paper, we address the latter and propose a blockchain enabled governance framework for building trustworthy software. Our framework supports the recording, monitoring, and analysis of various activities throughout the application development life cycle thereby bringing in transparency and auditability. It facilitates the specification of regulations and best practices and verifies for its adherence raising alerts of noncompliance and prescribes remedial measures.

Trusted Software Supply Chain Modern software delivery happens in a geographically distributed environment and resembles like a supply chain xe2x80x93 consists of various participants, involves various phases, needs adherence to multiple regulations and needs to maintain artifactsu0027 integrity throughout the delivery phases. This shift in software development brings along with it several challenges ranging from communication of informationknowledge, coordination and control of teams, activities adhering to goals and policies and artifacts adhering to quality, visibility, and management. %Software development processes to be transparent, verifiable, compliant, and accountable thereby increasing softwareu0027s trustworthiness. With the dispersion of centralized control over software delivery to autonomous delivery organizations, the variety of processes and tools used turns transparency into opacity as autonomous teams use different software processes, tools, and metrics, leading to issues like ineffective compliance monitoring, friction prone coordination, and lack of provenance, and thereby trust. In this paper, we present a delivery governance framework based on distributed ledger technology that uses a notion of u0027software telemetryu0027 to record data from disparate delivery partners and enables compliance monitoring and adherence, provenance and traceability, transparency, and thereby trust.
