Webinars

Covering technical methodologies and techniques for developing critical software in compliance with DO-178B/C, IEC 61508, CENELEC, ISO 26262 and FDA guidelines we will highlight the processes, procedures and tools used to achieve critical software certification.

Electronic devices-now commonplace in the medical industry-spark concerns over the safety and security of device software and the liability risks should something go wrong. The IEC 62304 standard was developed to address these safety concerns, checking each stage of software development to help create a functionally safe medical device.

Locomotives today cover a wide range of applications from heavy haul, freight, passenger to very high speed trains. Increasing use of embedded software in railway is evident in recent traction and signalling equipment builds. Embedded software enables extra complexity and functionality to be built in without significant hardware cost. Functions previously implemented in analogue electronics are now in firmware on processor based digital electronic modules. Railway industry requirements are defined by CENELEC, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization.

Safety is one of the key issues of future automobile development. Now a days automotive manufactures are introducing many active safety features like ABS (anti-lock braking system), traction control, cruise control and passive safety features like airbags and seatbelts etc. With the trend of increasing complexity, software content and mechatronic implementation, there are increasing risks from systematic failures due to malfunctioning of software and hardware components. V model based software development processes focuses on lifecycle traceability between the sub-phases of the software lifecycle and its compatibility with system and hardware lifecycles. ISO 26262 includes guidance to avoid these risks by providing feasible requirements and processes.

Version 9.0 of the LDRA tool suite is a major release; firstly the LDRA tool suite is getting a new look and feel. Another major feature in V9.0 of the LDRA tool suite is the ability in TBmanager to be able to manage project and standard objectives for standards such as DO-178B, ISO 26262, IEC 62304 and IEC 61508. TBmanager is now able to track the status and manage artifacts associated with each objective as well as assets (documents) associated with tests

Version 9.0 of the LDRA tool suite is a major release; firstly the LDRA tool suite is getting a new look and feel. TBvision® will become the new user interface. Existing users can be rest assured that they can continue to use the tools in exactly the same way that they have been doing for countless years. This new look and feel will of course be available in both Windows and Linux.

Version 9.0 of the LDRA tool suite is a major release; firstly the LDRA tool suite is getting a new look and feel. The tried and tested LDRA Testbed® has now evolved to become just the analysis engine allowing TBvision® to be augmented to become the new user interface. At the same time the user interface for TBrun® has also been similarly updated so that now TBrun, TBvision and TBmanager® all have the same new look and feel.

The extensive use of electronic devices in many industries has seen more and more dependence on embedded software. As a result a host of industry specific standards have emerged as global benchmarks for management of the software development lifecycle. Standards such as IEC 62304 (medical devices), ISO/DIS 26262 and SPICE (automotive) and IEC 61511 (process industry) provide a framework of software development lifecycle processes with activities and tasks necessary for the safe design and maintenance of software for use in each relevant sector.

Covering technical tips and techniques for developing safety-critical avionics software in compliance with DO-178B (up to, and including, Level A design assurance), this webinar features industry experts who will highlight the processes, procedures and tools used to achieve avionics certification on the latest civil airliners.

From November 2009 through the first quarter of 2010, Toyota recalled 8 million or more cars and trucks worldwide. In May, the FDA ordered Baxter Healthcare Corp. to recall every single one of its Colleague brand Volumetric Infusion Pumps in the U.S (approximately 200,000 units) due to battery failures, inadvertent powering off, service data errors, and other issues.

Development teams fight the project triangle. Software can be high quality, on time or on budget—pick any two. With continued pressure to improve time to market and reduce costs, quality has frequently taken a back seat. And now, the triangle is more challenging with the increased need for security. Customers are demanding that software be assessed on quality, security, timelines and budgets. What can be done?

Industry automations depend on Electrical/ Electronic/ Programmable Electronic (E/ E/ PE) Systems and these systems have become more and more dependent on embedded software. The reliability and risk posed by these systems became important and led to the development of the IEC 61508 standard.

Improving your software engineering process without breaking the budget or project timeline

With the evolution of computing, devices incorporate an ever- increasing amount of software. Software is key to bettering the user interface, boosting device responsiveness, and adding more features to your product.

This webinar covers developing automotive software in full compliance with the upcoming ISO/DIS 26262 standard demands a mature development environment focused on the requirements of the 26262 standard.

This webinar covers technical tips and techniques for developing safety-critical avionics software in compliance with DO-178B (upto and including Level A design assurance).

This webinar demonstrates This webinar will discuss certified software validation processes in the context of mission critical applications. As software failures account for a high percentage of mission critical failures, use of the techniques afforded by certified software validation and how proven methodologies can offer a very high return on investment.

This webinar demonstrates how testing legacy code turns the ideal process on its head. Legacy code typically doesn't follow clearly defined requirements, adhere to corporate or international coding standards, follow a well-controlled development process or lock step with a coherent test regime.

A new era of embedded process management for safety and security critical software development is about to happen. This new era encompasses formal methods, model based design and object oriented technology, including real time Java, as well as traditional C based development. In order to produce certification ready software in this era, especially in the domain of flight software, Best Practices for development, verification and validation must be understood and achieved.

This webinar demonstrates how testing legacy code turns the ideal process on its head. Legacy code typically doesn't follow clearly defined requirements, adhere to corporate or international coding standards, follow a well-controlled development process or lock step with a coherent test regime.

This webinar will examine how static software analysis can be used to reinforce the use of secure coding practices and identify potential software weaknesses.

This webinar covers technical tips and techniques for developing safety-critical avionics software in compliance with DO-178B (up to, and including, Level A design assurance). We will also provide an overiew and feedback on the emerging DO-178C standard and tool qualification to assist in the next generation of certification.

This webinar demonstrates how you can use software analysis and test tools in a pragmatic way to develop legacy SOUP code into a sound set of sources which are proven to be fit for purpose - all in an efficient and cost effective manner.

This webinar demonstrates how you can improve the safety, reliability and security of your software using automated software testing.

Reports indicate that up to 70% of project defects arise from poor requirements management and traceability. To combat such quality and cost challenges, LDRA has made requirements management fundamental to its automated software test and analysis solution and this webinar will explain and demonstrate how.

This webinar demonstrates how you can automate the testing of your applications and we will explain and demonstrate how applying the results of both static and dynamic analysis provides far more value than either one alone.
