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 the RTCA DO-278A standard or its EUROCAE ED-109A equivalent.

DO 278A / ED-109A 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 278A / ED-109A requires reviews, audits, and tests of its implementation. The best proof of its implementation is to complete a detailed and complete 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.
