DO-178B - Plan for Software Aspects of Certification (PSAC) - Ana Planlama Belgesidir

Giriş

SOI-1 öncesinde hazırlanan ve sertifikasyon otoritesine gönderilen planlardan bir tanesi. Açıklaması şöyle

PSAC communicates the proposed development methods to the certification authority for agreement (11.1)

PSAC ve SQA

Açıklaması şöyle. Yani PSAC, SQA tarafından denetlenir ve doğrulanır

How does the Software Quality Assurance (SQA) team work in your DO-178C project?

Here are 6 ways….

...

Software Quality Assurance (SQA), one of the Integral processes of DO-178C, provides the evidence showing that a project complies with processes, standards and guidance throughout the development life cycle. Broadly, there are six areas of software quality focus throughout a project.

At the beginning of a project:

1. Checking that the PSAC and the associated plans and standards align with the objectives of DO-178C.

2. Creating the Software Quality Assurance Plan (SQAP).

3. Checking that software life cycle processes comply with approved plans and standards.

4. Establishing supplier oversight.

During the project:

5. Checking that software activity follows the software life cycle processes – in particular, checking that transition criteria between life cycle processes are satisfied.

At the end of the project:

6. Conducting the conformity review of the software product.

These activities must be conducted whether software activities are internal to one organization or part of an integrator-supplier relationship. In the latter case, each organization that has further suppliers must coordinate SQA activities so that the integrator’s evidence includes evidence from their supplier’s SQA activities.

PSAC Başlıkları

Kullanılacak araçlar, işletim sistemi, izlenecek yöntem, diğer planların neye göre gözden geçirileceği, gözden geçirme listeleri gibi konular yazılır. Açıklaması şöyle. Yani PSAC ana planlama belgesidir

What is a PSAC within DO-178C?

 

First, a little context.

 

Within DO-178C you have 4 Stages Of Involvement (SOIs). SOIs provide the framework for you to communicate with your certification authority throughout your project.

 

The SOI#1 focuses on planning. Within this stage you need to create a PSAC.

 

A PSAC is the Plan for Software Aspects of Certification

 

This consists of a description of:

 

1.     the software you plan to develop

2.     the hardware environment it will be used in

3.     the design assurance processes you will follow

4.     how you will demonstrate compliance, including how you will verify your implemented code and any commercial tools you will use in your verification

 

This acts as the parent planning document.

PSAC ve DER

PSAC, DER tarafından onaylanır. DER ile yapılan bir sözleşme gibi düşünülebilir.
