Avionics/DO-178B/DO-278

 

The safety of aircraft passengers depends on the flight software operating properly, which is why the FAA has developed the DO-178B standard for the development of flight software. Achieving software certification to the DO-178B standard is very time consuming and expensive. Certification requires organizations to demonstrate that their code implements all of its requirements properly, that is, does not include any extra code whose impact on the behavior of the software cannot be determined, and that the code has been tested thoroughly. > Link to

Aerospace and Defence

Planes, tanks, radar systems, satellites, and space craft. The presence of embedded software in defense and aerospace systems is almost endless. But one thing never changes: when the system is used, it must perform flawlessly, or the mission may be in jeopardy. This is why Defense, Space, and Homeland Security companies spend a lot of time and effort testing the software that is embedded in these systems. > Link to

Automotive

Competition in the Automotive industry is intense. Successful companies must constantly innovate by introducing new features, many of which contain significant amounts of software. Yet, because the automotive industry is a much higher volume industry than avionics, suppliers must also control cost. Software testing has been very expensive, yet the cost of finding software bugs after the vehicle is sold can require a recall to fix, and more importantly can damage product branding. > Link to

Medical

Modern medicine is increasingly relying on electronic devices to improve the quality of life and medical care. These devices fulfill important missions: patient monitors, infusions pumps, pacemakers, and defibrillators all contains significant amounts of embedded software. These devices need to behave properly and consistently, otherwise the well-being of patients is compromised. Testing is a critical part of ensuring the performance of these devices. > Link to

Railway

The Railway industry requirements are defined by CENELEC. The EN 50126, EN 50128 and EN 50129 represents the backbone of the process of demonstrating the safety of a railway system. The standards EN 50128 "Software for railway control and protection systems" and EN 50129 "Safety related electronic systems for signaling" represent the railway application-specific interpretation of - IEC 61508 > Link to

Industrial

Electrical, electronic or programmable systems that perform safety related functions are often developed to IEC 61508. Functional Safety This standard is well established in the industrial process-control and automation industry and is also used in automotive, heavy machinery, mining, and other fields where safety and reliability are critical. > Link to
