DO-178B Software Life Cycle Overview

The DO-178B software life cycle consists of the following processes:

• Planning

• Software development

• Verification of requirements

• Verification of design

• Verification of coding and integration

• Testing of outputs of integration

• Verification of verification results

• Software configuration management

• Software quality assurance

• Certification liaison process

There are objectives that must be met for each of the life cycle stages in DO-178B. In Appendix A of DO-178B, these objectives are summarized in tables. This document summarizes those tables and provides recommendations on meeting the objectives using a Model-Based Design process. Available Model-Based Design tools that can be used in achieving the objectives are also included.
