Course overview
Data and control coupling analysis is among the most misunderstood DO-178C objectives. SW-CERT-240 provides a complete, practical method for identifying and verifying the couplings between components.
It pays particular attention to complex environments — Integrated Modular Avionics and multicore processors (MCP) — where coupling analysis is hardest and most scrutinized.
What you will learn
- What data coupling and control coupling actually require
- A repeatable method for performing DCCCA
- How to identify couplings between software components
- Approaches for complex IMA and multicore (MCP) environments
- Producing coupling coverage evidence reviewers will accept
Who should take this course
Experienced verification and integration engineers responsible for DCCCA on complex avionics software.
Recommended prerequisite: SW-CERT-200 — DO-178C Structural Coverage Objectives
