Software development according to ED12B/DO-178B and ED12C/DO-178C

Efficient implementation of the requirements of the approval authorities

In civil aviation, it is particularly important that all necessary requirements and constraints for software development are known at the start of the project and that their effects on the project process are understood so that there are no surprises at the end of the project.

One focus of the seminar is on the efficient implementation of the really important requirements in order to implement the projects within an economically reasonable framework and at the same time meet the requirements of the approval authorities.
