Urban air mobility (UAM), unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are shaping the landscape of next generation aircraft and avionics. Development and testing teams working to ensure adequate safety and security of avionics systems and software are finding the cost, time, and effort to meet airworthiness certification goals is rising exponentially. Several demanding and changing circumstances are impacting traditional avionics software development and verification practices:
Code coverage measurement is a requirement for safety certification to evaluate the completeness of test cases and demonstrate that there is no unintended functionality. A typical challenge for measuring code coverage is the potential impact on real-time behavior and the increased code size when using instrumentation. Another challenge is measuring code coverage without access to a debugger.

In everyday language, the words “complex” and “complicated” are largely synonymous. But in development circles, software complexity is more specifically concerned with the extent to which a system is difficult to comprehend, modify and test, and not the complication inherent in the function it is designed to fulfil. Two systems equivalent in functionality can therefore differ greatly in their software complexity.
This webinar will describe how a COTS DevSecOps platform integrated with an analysis and verification tools suite can ensure that intelligent systems such as airborne delivery drones, autonomous vehicles, and factory robots meet the most stringent criteria for safety and security.
In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive technology, the importance of software security cannot be overstated.

On 8th January 2024, the FAA officially issued “AC 20-193 – Use of Multi-Core Processors”, complementing the earlier EASA release of AMC 20-193.
For a single core, the calculation of Worst-Case Execution Times (WCET) using static analysis alone can only be an estimate. That problem is exacerbated when more cores are involved, where shared resources such as memory and caches further degrade the theoretical calculation. In an environment where precise timing can mean life or death, approximations do not sit comfortably.
Multicore processors are the new norm for embedded processor designs. To take full advantage of multiple cores on the same integrated circuit with shared resources careful attention to software execution timing. In this Webinar we will demonstrate continuous monitoring of execution times and worst-case execution timing a (WCET) to ensure the project stays on track to fulling the requirements of CAST-32A, A(M)C-20-193, for WCET

For many safety critical applications, tool qualification is a necessary part of ensuring that a tool chain is capable of producing code of sufficient quality to fulfil the needs of the applicable standards. For all but the most critical applications, the use of TÜV certified tools is sufficient. But when the stakes are high, functional safety standards demand more.
This webinar will explore the challenges of successfully applying DevSecOps to applications where functional safety and security are paramount, and will recommend several best practice approaches to the validation and verification of safety and security critical embedded software.
In most safety critical sectors, the practices surrounding the development of functionally safe application software are well established and familiar. Standards such as DO-178C in aerospace, ISO 26262 in automotive and IEC 61508 in industry are now long established, as is the industry that supports them.
With Industry 4.0, cyber-physical systems are connected, and the need of the day is to protect these systems from any security threats generated internally and externally. The ISA/IEC 62443 series defines the guidelines and practices for developing components/devices and IACS. The objective here is to defend against negligent and willful actions to protect devices and facilities.
Nowadays passenger safety is an important factor for all automotive manufacturers. With the increasing complexity in automotive systems, the question of system safety is getting trickier. Process standards driven by industry helps to introduce functional safety in automotive systems. One of the major standards among this is ISO 26262 which enforces functional safety within the automotive subsystems.
Cybersecurity represents a dark cloud overshadowing the “smart grid” modernization of the existing electrical grid system that enhances customers’ and utilities’ ability to monitor, control, and predict energy use. The need for a secure enterprise-level architecture in defending against potentially devastating blackouts is widely acknowledged, but the role played by securely coded devices is easier to ignore and yet vitally important.
Automotive connectivity causes concerns with vulnerability to attack from bad actors. The rise of electric vehicles adds to that unease as several features of the connected EV are associated with the batteries and their charging systems. In this free, 60-minute webinar, we discuss the inherent security of a virtualized architecture, and explain how that strength can be underpinned by applying secure development techniques to code that handles data passed between processes.
Performing the lifecycle activities and establishing the confidence with required work products or artifacts in each lifecycle stage of ISO 26262 or DO-178C is a challenge. The session will focus on implementing the control functionality in production software for mass production and includes development activities using Model-in-the-Loop, Software-in-the-Loop and Processor-in-the-Loop with an AUTOSAR-Compliant Development tool TargetLink and SystemDesk.
Safety Critical Software has to be written with great care. There must be guidelines, tools and processes in place to ensure that the software is safe to use. But what about any third party libraries such as those that are packaged with the compiler toolchain? There are many good reasons to want to use a library. Not only does it save development effort, but a library may actually have a higher quality than what you can create yourself within the constraints of a project. The question is, can you use those libraries safely as well?
This webinar, with industry experts from DDC-I and LDRA, will present solutions that address CAST-32A concerns utilizing features such as cache partitioning, memory pooling and safe scheduling.

This session will help you to reduce the testing efforts for certification of a particular process standard. One of the mandate in software project while complying to any process standard is to perform requirements-based testing and traceability across the entire life cycle. Doing this manually and complying to every object is challenging and most importantly time taking and can be prone to errors. This session will highlight how LDRA’s TBmanager tool helps in tracking the progress of process standard objectives and performing the Bi-directional traceability between Requirements, source code, and test cases. This session will include the impact analysis when there change in requirement, source code or the test case results and its impact on the project.
As airborne systems incorporate new technologies, the effort and complexity of developing safe and secure airborne systems software is growing rapidly. To meet the challenges of this growth, software development teams rely on in-house, as well as commercially available, software development tools. To fully realize the benefits of the automation provided by these tools, the tools must complete a software tool qualification. Software tool qualification presents several risks and adds to the demands of the software development team that is already tasked with following the rigorous software development process mandated by DO-178C.
With Industry 4.0, cyber physical systems are connected and need of the day is to ensure protection of these systems from any security threats generated internally and externally. ISA/IEC 62443 4-1 defines the practices for Secure product development lifecycle requirements. The objective here is to defence against negligent and wilful actions to protect devices and facilities.
Stringent regulatory guidelines and associated product liability norms drive safety and security-critical industries like Aerospace, Automotive, Semiconductor, Medical, Industrial, Energy, Rail etc. Companies spend more resources, time and money on testing and certification than on development to create a product that is internationally accepted and certified. Therefore, delays associated with product certification play a significant role in time-to-market, profitability and even the viability of a new venture.
This webinar references several international security standards to present an overview of what constitutes an ideal secure system. It outlines why such a system demands focus on security throughout the entire development lifecycle from the definition of requirements onwards, referencing some of the most significant principles along the way. And it concludes by explaining the contribution that secure application code can make to the security of the system as a whole, detailing some of the key techniques that can provide assurance of that software security.
The “Internet of Things” promises a world of convenience, efficiency, and economic opportunity. But history has taught us to be wary of the “touch of human weakness” – opportunists amongst us who will seek to disrupt or to take dishonest advantage.
Early in the 2010s, a number of incidents helped break down any complacency surrounding the security of connected cars. Police intervention to shut down a stolen car by compromising the 2012 GM OnStar system helped raise awareness that connected cars are potentially vulnerable. Work since then has largely focused on the secure architectural design of automotive systems, but automotive OEMs are increasingly also requiring developers to prove that their software meets the highest standards for security as well as safety.
Aerospace certification processes are tilted towards a rigorous verification process to ensure the safety-critical functions meet appropriate design assurance levels. However, in today’s time security also has become the prime challenge in modern aerospace system development and certification. The aviation network and even the aircraft are getting connected to the internet(nose-to-tail) and other private networks.
This webinar is a part of webinar series by Skills Development & Communication Work Group of IESA Automotive Core Initiative Group.

Whether it’s a commercial passenger jet, a general aviation aircraft, a military fighter jet, or combat helicopter, avionics technology continues to get more and more sophisticated and relies increasingly on the latest commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software.
Compliance with the functional safety Standard ISO 26262 will never been easy. The advent of complementary cybersecurity guidelines in the form of SAE J3061 increases the burden for any development team up against budgetary requirements. Looking for a way to cope? Look no further. Learn from Andrew Banks, Chairman of the BSI “Software Testing” Working Group and an active contributor to the recent revision of ISO 26262.
There are some very good test tools around, and some very good requirements management tools. But all too often, there is little to interface the two. That wouldn’t be so bad if projects really followed the text book V-model so that project phases were perfectly aligned, such that requirements stayed fixed throughout the development lifecycle, design reflected the requirements perfectly, and implementation fulfilled the design precisely.
Dual modular redundancy (DMR) is a popular means of mitigating risks across the safety critical sectors, but in devices deploying any form of control logic it needs to be approached with caution. It may be more commercially viable to develop very high integrity software.
When examined with a critical eye, the commonly held belief that security and safety critical code are hugely different to each other is a conundrum. Why would that be?
Functional safety is a very important aspect for many industries, and it has become a highly recommended practice for Safety & Security critical products development. ISO 26262 is the widely adopted process standard for the global Automotive industry. This can be achieved by the usage of certified tools for development and verification phases during the lifecycle.
In everyday language, the words “complex” and “complicated” are synonymous. A complex cake recipe is complicated. But in development circles, software complexity is more specifically concerned with the extent to which a system is difficult to comprehend, modify and test, and not the complication inherent in the function it is designed to fulfil. Two systems equivalent in functionality can therefore differ greatly in their software complexity.?And the more complex the code, the more difficult it is to understand, test and maintain, and the more likely it is that problems will arise.
The definition of quality code is evolving as demands for it increase. Reliable, safe coding practices have been widely adopted for applications such as medical, industrial, transportation, automotive, and aerospace where a software malfunction could cause injury or death. But current headlines make it clear that secure coding has become equally imperative, and for a much broader range of applications where hacking can result in damaged brands, misused information, and identity theft. While there are many ways to layer security into software, it is also easy to inadvertently introduce flaws that can result in safety or security vulnerabilities.
In this OpenSystems Media E-cast, discover how a diverse set of technologies is coming together to enable the active safety and autonomous drive systems of the future. In addition to the individual components and subsystems, their place in next-generation vehicle architectures will be assessed in pursuit of designs that will bring fewer operator errors and more peace of mind to the road.
Flight is widely regarded as the safest form of transportation. The aviation industry is justly proud of its enviable safety track record and the resulting high degree of public confidence, a happy situation resulting largely from the enforcement of stringent development processes and compliance requirements.
Industries such as automotive, medical, industrial and home automation are currently going through fundamental transformation with regards to their requirements for embedded electronic systems. There has been an explosive growth in both the number of processing units within each system and software complexity. At the same time, applications in these industries also must address the escalating concerns of functional safety and security.
This webinar discusses the ideal properties of secure systems, and introduces the international standards pertinent to building them. It describes the need to incorporate security throughout the development lifecycle of a secure product, starting with security requirements and their interpretation in the product design and implementation.
Unmanned aircraft, drones, remotely-piloted aircraft, or whatever one chooses to call them are increasing in number and often staying ahead of the regulatory bodies tasked with setting their safety standards.
Security is generally at the top of the list of “must haves” for designers of medical devices. But what does that mean exactly? How secure is secure? Do you know the end environment where your device will be deployed? Are you sure?

This webinar discusses how software development lifecycle metrics have been used successfully in safety- and mission-critical applications to yield significant improvements in software quality and security, while enhancing overall productivity.
In 2012, the OnStar system built into GM vehicles was used at the request of police to shut down a stolen car as it was being pursued. This incident and others made it clear that if the police can break into a car, so can thieves and other hackers. And while connectivity and data are the currency of our age, capitalizing on them in the automotive sector comes with significant risk.
In reality, safety and security-critical development is “hard” and potentially very costly. There are many facets to developing a secure and ultimately safe system but it all starts with developing secure software.
Safety and security critical markets must adhere to strict certification requirements; this includes, coding standards, structural coverage analysis, unit testing and requirements traceability.
Cost, schedule, and risks driven by safety and security critical standards compliance can be managed and mastered with TBmanager and the LDRA tool suite®
To ensure proper system functionality, safety, and security, traceability must be used for artifacts across the lifecycle. This includes requirements, design elements, source code, and tests. Key process standards such as DO-178B/C, ISO 26262, IEC 61508, IEC 62304 and others, mandate its use.
