Meeting DO-178B Software Verification Guidelines: Coverity Paper Available

DO178-B Development organizations that create safety-critical airborne software systems must have the systems approved for use. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recognizes DO-178B as an acceptable means of compliance. DO-178B is one of the most stringent standards in use in the software development industry. It offers a strict certification requirement for software where anomalous behaviour could cause a catastrophic failure condition.
The standard is considered so thorough that it has been often used outside the aeronautics industry including Nuclear Power, Rail and Automotive, and Medical industries.
Coverity Inc. has now published a document discussing how the Coverity Integrity Center can help with specific software verification guidelines as outlined in DO-178B.
