LDRA's DO-178B Tool Qualification Support Pack

Certification authorities such as the FAA, CAA and JAA undertake tool qualification on a project by project basis. This means that, when considering tools, assistance in tool qualification is essential. As an integral part of the LDRA DO-178B Analysis Package, LDRA offer a Tool Qualification Support Pack and agree to enable clients and certification authorities to audit the LDRA tool suite for use in projects. This audit process has already been undertaken by many existing LDRA customers.

The tool qualification pack includes:

  • Tool specifications
  • Tool qualification procedures and test strategies
  • A validation test suite

Customer Quote:

On February 16th, 2006 Sino Swearingen received a Type Certificate from the FAA for their SJ30-2 aircraft. This aircraft uses Honeywell avionics. Honeywell chose the LDRA tool suite to assist in performing verification activates on the Honeywell autopilot. The autopilot has DO-178B Level A software. This level of software required Honeywell to use the LDRA tool suite in a manner to show that the MC/DC coverage objectives were satisfied. Honeywell was successful in qualifying the LDRA tool suite during the course of the program and using it to achieve the necessary objectives.
