DO-178C

Industry-Led Training: Mastering DO-178C

we believe that compliance is not just a checkbox—it is a discipline. We translate our decades of experience at HAL, DRDO, and Thales into high-impact training modules designed for engineers, project managers, and certification authorities.

Our DO-178C Training Program goes beyond the theory of the “Software Considerations in Airborne Systems” document. We provide the practical “how-to” for developing, verifying, and certifying flight software.


Module Overview: The DO-178C Lifecycle

This comprehensive module covers the entire software life cycle, from initial planning to final certification liaison.

1. Software Planning & Standards

  • The Big Five: Drafting the PSAC, SDP, SVP, SCMPlan, and SQAPlan.
  • Defining Standards: Creating robust Software Development, Code, and Requirements Standards.
  • The Transition Criteria: Knowing when to move from one lifecycle phase to the next.

2. Software Development Processes

  • Requirements Engineering: Developing High-Level (HLR) and Low-Level Requirements (LLR).
  • Architecture Design: Best practices for safety-critical partitioning and resource management.
  • Coding for Compliance: Writing “Reviewable” code that meets DO-178C objectives.

3. Software Verification (The Core)

  • Reviews & Analyses: Conducting independent code and design reviews.
  • Testing Levels: Low-level (Unit), Integration, and Hardware-Software Integration (HSI) testing.
  • Structural Coverage Analysis: Mastering Statement, Decision, and Modified Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC).

4. Integral Processes & Tools

  • Configuration Management: Baselines, problem reporting, and change control.
  • Quality Assurance: Ensuring the process is followed, not just the technical steps.
  • Tool Qualification: When and how to qualify your compilers, test tools, and generators.
