Both airports and airlines are facing rising costs and revenue growth constraints. There is now an increased push within the airline industry toward cutting overhead costs by taking advantage of automated c unit testing.
The safety of passengers flying on aircraft depends upon the flight software operating optimally. This is why the Federal Aviation Association set the do 178 b standard for the development of flight software. Earning the do 178b certification is both costly and time consuming. In order to become certified organizations must show that their code implements all of its requirements in the correct manner, in other words it cannot include any extra code that makes it impossible to determine the impact on the software. The code also must be able to be tested thoroughly as well.
Many of the world’s top companies use VectorCAST as a standard for software quality and testing for safety and critical applications on both commercial and defense aerospace applications. VectorCAST provides companies with the ability to increase the reliability and quality of their flight software. VectorCAST also offers c unit testing. Unit testing is the process of testing portions of a software application prior to full system testing. Unit testing as well as integration testing plays a vital part in building a smooth running application that is error-free and robust. This is because this testing allows the person conducting the test to easily stimulate the low level functioning of the application and prove that the low level requirements are implemented in the correct manner.
