OVERLAND PARK, KS, Jan. 7 -– Bullseye Testing Technology and CertTech, L.L.C., are pleased to announce a partnership to provide a RTCA/DO-178B tool qualification kit and support of the BullseyeCoverage software code coverage testing tool. BullseyeCoverage is a code coverage analyzer for C++ and C that indicates the extent of coverage achieved during testing of source code. Code coverage analysis is essential to evaluating test and requirements coverage for high reliability applications.
DO-178B, Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification, is an industry standard for software development published by RTCA, Inc. The FAA accepts use of DO-178B as a means of certification of avionics software. Level A has the most demanding requirements, where safety and hazard analysis indicates the potential of a catastrophic failure condition for aircraft, crew and passengers. DO-178B requires developers to perform code coverage analysis at Levels A, B and C.
Steve Cornett, President, Bullseye Testing Technology, said, “We have seen a substantial increase in interest for our code coverage solution from the aviation industry. We are pleased to form this partnership to provide a DO-178B solution to our customers. CertTech’s qualifications and capabilities related to DO-178B qualification are impressive.”
CertTech company founder and Managing Member Sam Jarrell explained, “Our company has significant experience in using BullseyeCoverage on aviation projects in DO-178B applications. We have used it on a number of different projects, and we consider it a key component in the certification plans that integrate automated testing and code coverage analysis. On our team, we have an FAA registered consultant Designated Engineering Representative (DER) with authority to review and approve avionics software data up to DO-178B Level A, so we can provide complete support throughout the software tool qualification process, as defined in DO-178B and FAA Order 8110.49.”
