C1410: Introduction to DO-178C

Abstract

Content: This two-day course will introduce participants to industry best practices for real-world software development and how to avoid common DO-178C mistakes. This course is intended to present the information necessary to help minimize DO-178C risks and costs, while also maximizing software quality during avionics development. The instructor will guide participants through topics such as aircraft safety, systems, software planning, software requirements, and software design/code/test. The entire ecosystem of aviation avionics software development will be summarized including DO-178C's relationship to other industry standards including the SAE standards ARP4761 for Safety and ARP4754A for Systems Development.
