The Comprehensive DO-178C Handbook: Efficient Verification Through the DO-178C Lifecycle

ConsuNova’s comprehensive PDF Handbook on DO-178C is the definitive guide to the gold standard in Avionics software projects, taking you through the entire DO-178C journey, from project concept to verification.

At its core, DO-178C is the map for making sure airplane software is safe and reliable. It guides us through planning what the software needs to do, designing how it will work, writing the actual code, and testing it to make sure it acts as intended and correctly. It also helps to keep all project details organized and prove to regulators, safety inspectors, and other important Aviation bodies that the software is trustworthy. By following DO-178C’s steps carefully, we ensure the airplane’s “brain” operates smoothly and safely, avoiding crashes and keeping everyone on board secure.

Inside this handy DO-178C PDF you’ll discover the best tips, tricks, tools, and processes to use throughout the entire compliance process, including practical guidance and real-world examples that demonstrate the means and methods for efficiently verifying DO-178C software. Download our DO-178C PDF and the considerations for multi-core compliance to CAST-32A objectives and AMC 20-193 verification.

Key points include:

• DO-178C Planning, what you need to consider early in your project and how to mitigate against need for later rework.
• Efficient Design practices to reduce downstream Verification effort e.g. Data Coupling and Control Coupling Analysis.
• DO-178C Verification objectives and activities.
• DO-178C strategies you can take to optimize Avionics verification effort.
• Considerations for multicore DO-178C and CAST-32A projects.
• Considerations to obtain DO-178C compliance via best practices during each Stage of Involvement (SOI).
