DO-178C

DO-178C is a certification standard used in aerospace, specifically for software in safety-critical systems like aircraft. It provides a structured framework to ensure that the software is developed with high quality, reliability, and safety. By following its guidelines, developers rigorously plan, design, verify, and document their work to minimize risks of failures that could jeopardize flight safety. Essentially, DO-178C helps ensure that the software in airplanes performs correctly under all conditions, preventing accidents and ensuring passenger and crew safety.
