DO 178B produced by Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics, Inc. (RTCA), the Federal Aviation Authority's (FAA) Advisory Circular AC20-115B established DO-178B as the accepted means of certifying all new aviation software. DO-178B is primarily concerned with development processes. As a result, certification to DO-178B requires delivery of multiple supporting documents and records. The quantity of items needed for DO-178B certification, and the amount of information that they must contain, is determined by the level of certification being sought. |
