| Description: |
"Preface It's with a great sense of responsibility and complete humility that I present this book. After two years of researching and writing, I feel I've only scratched the surface. I hope that what I share and have experienced will help you in your professional endeavors. My passion is safety and making its realization practical. As early as high school, I wrote a column for the local newspaper on safety tips, extensively researching (as much as one can in rural America before the Internet): bathtub safety, tractor safety, and electrical safety, among others. My senior year of high school, I competed in the state persuasive speech competition--the subject was seatbelt safety. My desire to promote safety led me to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and is the primary motivation behind this book. Software is only one link in the overall safety chain. Yet, it is an important link and one which grows more vital each year. As software becomes more prevalent and is used in more critical ways, its risks and contributions to safety increase. At the same time that the risk due to software is increasing, the business models of many companies seem to be shifting--more is expected with less, schedule becomes king, and software engineers are treated like pieces on a game board that can be randomly reorganized. This book is intended to be a tool for those caught in the churn of the industry. Perhaps you are a systems engineer or manager, a software manager, a software engineer, a quality assurance engineer, or a student striving to learn from the experiences of others. You want to do an outstanding job but are overwhelmed with schedule and budget pressures. I hope that is this book, based on the last 20 years of my life in the aviation industry,"-- |
| Synopsis: |
The amount of software used in safety-critical systems is increasing at a rapid rate. At the same time, software technology is changing, projects are pressed to develop software faster and more cheaply, and the software is being used in more critical ways. Developing Safety-Critical Software: A Practical Guide for Aviation Software and DO-178C Compliance equips you with the information you need to effectively and efficiently develop safety-critical, life-critical, and mission-critical software for aviation. The principles also apply to software for automotive, medical, nuclear, and other safety-critical domains. An international authority on safety-critical software, the author helped write DO-178C and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's policy and guidance on safety-critical software. In this book, she draws on more than 20 years of experience as a certification authority, an avionics manufacturer, an aircraft integrator, and a software developer to present best practices, real-world examples, and concrete recommendations.The book includes: * An overview of how software fits into the systems and safety processes * Detailed examination of DO-178C and how to effectively apply the guidance * Insight into the DO-178C-related documents on tool qualification (DO-330), model-based development (DO-331), object-oriented technology (DO-332), and formal methods (DO-333) * Practical tips for the successful development of safety-critical software and certification * Insightful coverage of some of the more challenging topics in safety-critical software development and verification, including real-time operating systems, partitioning, configuration data, software reuse, previously developed software, reverse engineering, and outsourcing and offshoring An invaluable reference for systems and software managers, developers, and quality assurance personnel, this book provides a wealth of information to help you develop, manage, and approve safety-critical software more confidently. |
