AV-CERT-220: DO-330 / ED-215 Software Tool Qualification

Course overview

Whenever a tool's output is trusted in place of a required activity, that tool may need to be qualified. AV-CERT-220 explains the DO-330/ED-215 framework: how to classify a tool by its impact, determine its Tool Qualification Level, and produce the qualification evidence.

The course connects tool qualification back to the DO-178C software lifecycle so you can decide which tools need qualification and scope the effort realistically.
