- The Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. aerospace industry have
- established guidelines for the development of flight-critical commercial
- software. These guidelines, referred to as the DO-178 series, are
- developed through a consensus building process under the auspices of the
- Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics. They represent aerospace
- industry standard practice and are used by the FAA during aircraft
- certification.
-
- Under the sponsorship of NASA and the FAA, the Research Triangle
- Institute defined and implemented a study to assess the effectiveness
- of these guidelines. The study involved developing a real-time guidance
- and control software application and collecting software quality data
- throughout the development process. The talk will discuss the methods
- used during development and the quality data collected. Actual failure
- data from each life cycle phase will be presented.
