iSQI Exam CTAL-TM_Syll2012 Topic 3 Question 59 Discussion

Actual exam question for iSQI's CTAL-TM_Syll2012 exam
Question #: 59
Topic #: 3
[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)

I hope the tool doesn't require a computer with more than 4GB of RAM. That would be a dealbreaker for our aging hardware!

Usability is important, but with a tight budget, the main focus should be on finding a tool that can do the job and get qualified, even if it's a bit more challenging to use.

Qualifying the tool as a verification tool under DO-178B is going to be a major hurdle. The costs and effort required for that could make this open-source option not viable.

The key concern here is whether the open-source tool can meet the specific code coverage requirements of the DO-178B standard across all three levels. That's a critical factor to consider.
