DO-178C, "Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification," is the primary safety standard used by aviation authorities (like the FAA and EASA) to certify commercial airborne software systems.
DALs categorize software criticality based on failure impact, ranging from Level A (Catastrophic) to Level E (No Safety Effect). Higher levels require stricter compliance objectives and testing rigor.
DO-178C updates DO-178B by clarifying terminology and adding technology-specific supplements for Model-Based Development (DO-331), Object-Oriented Technologies (DO-332), Formal Methods (DO-333), and Tool Qualification (DO-330).
Traceability links system requirements down to low-level requirements, source code, and test cases. It proves every software requirement is verified and that no unaccounted code exists.
