Templates for Plans, Standards and Verification Checklists

The process templates and checklists have been written by AFuzion and are being used in different certification projects worldwide. These templates provide the basis for the development and certification of ground station software following RTCA DO-278A or its equivalent EUROCAE ED-109A.

DO 278A / ED-109A requires planning and software lifecycle documents for certification, security, requirements, design, configuration management, quality assurance, validation and verification. Using these templates for the generation of the required documents greatly facilitates their preparation and subsequent approval.

Likewise, DO 278A / ED-109A requires reviews, audits and proof of completion. The best proof of its implementation is to complete a detailed and comprehensive checklist covering the main planning and development activities of the software life cycle.

Creating planning and software lifecycle documents and review checklists from scratch is a labor-intensive and error-prone job. Using the templates provided greatly simplifies this effort and reduces the errors that are made when performing an activity for the first time.
