This paper will provide an overview of the software development and management techniques applied to interlock systems in the CERN accelerator complex. Despite the in essence hardware based approach, software and configuration data is present in various forms and has to be treated with special care when aiming at safe, reliable and available protection systems. Several techniques and methods deployed in the LHC machine protection systems are highlighted, regarding data management and version tracking, hardware choices, commissioning procedures, testing methods and first operational experiences with the systems in CERN's accelerator complex.
