Topic #: 2

[All CTAL-TM_Syll2012 Questions]

Assume you are the Test Manager in charge of independent testing for avionics applications. You are in charge of testing for a project to implement three different CSCI (Computer Software Configuration Item):

- a BOOT-X CSCI that must be certified at level B of the DO-178B standard

- a DIAG-X CSCI that must be certified at level C of the DO-178B standard

- a DRIV-X CSCI that must be certified at level A of the DO-178B standard

These are three different software modules written in C language to run on a specific hardware platform.

You have been asked to select a single code coverage tool to perform the mandatory code coverage measurements, in order to meet the structural coverage criteria prescribed by the DO-178B standard. This tool must be qualified as a verification tool under DO-178B.

Since there are significant budget constraints to purchase this tool, you are evaluating an opensource tool that is able to provide different types of code coverage. This tool meets perfectly your technical needs in terms of the programming language and the specific hardware platform (it supports also the specific C-compiler).

The source code of the tool is available.

Your team could easily customize the tool to meet the project needs. This tool is not qualified as a verification tool under the DO-178B.

Which of the following are the three main concerns related to that open-source tool selection?

K4 3 credits (2 credits out of 3 credits correct, 1 credit point)

ADoes the tool support all the types of code coverage required from the three levels A, B, C of the DO-178B standard?

BDoes the tool have a good general usability?

CWhat are the costs to qualify the tool as a verification tool under the DO-178B?

DIs the installation procedure of the tool easy?

EDoes the tool require a system with more than 4GB of RAM memory?

FIs the licensing scheme of the tool compatible with the confidentiality needs of the avionics company?

Yes, cost is definitely a big factor. We need to ensure we can afford to qualify the tool properly.

I believe another concern is the cost to qualify the tool as a verification tool under the DO-178B.

Does the tool come with a 'DO-178B for Dummies' guide? Asking for a friend.

The licensing better not be a headache, we don't want the avionics company's secrets leaking out.

Qualifying the tool as a verification tool under DO-178B is going to be a major challenge and cost, so that's definitely a top concern.

I think the main concern is if the tool supports all types of code coverage required by the DO-178B standard.

The open-source tool needs to support all the required coverage types across the three DO-178B levels, that's the most critical concern.
