Templates for Plans, Standards, and Verification Checklists

The process templates and checklists have been written by AFuzion and are being used in various certification projects worldwide. These templates provide the basis for the development and certification of aeronautical software following the RTCA DO-178C standard or its EUROCAE ED-12C equivalent.

DO 178C/ED-12C requires planning and software lifecycle documents for certification, safety, requirements, design, configuration management, quality assurance, validation, and verification. Using these templates to generate the required documents greatly facilitates their preparation and subsequent approval.

Likewise, DO 178C/ED-12C requires reviews, audits, and tests to be performed. The best proof of their execution is to complete a detailed and comprehensive checklist that covers the main planning and development activities of the software lifecycle.

Creating planning and software lifecycle documents and review checklists from scratch is a task that requires a lot of effort and is prone to errors. Using the provided templates significantly simplifies this effort and reduces the errors that are made when an activity is performed for the first time.
