An interesting article was published in Defense News concerning recent issues encountered when certifying the software that drives the TP400 engine used on the A400M military transport plane:
“The problem came from having to demonstrate to the European Aviation Safety Authority traceability through the development cycles.”

The “Lean, Agile Approach to High-Integrity Software” event took place on March 26 at the Maison de la Chimie in Paris. In all, over 80 people joined us for a day dedicated to looking at ways in which Lean and Agile methods can (and are!) being used to develop software that requires certification – a very heavy process as many of you will know. The videos and slides from the workshop will be posted at a rate of 1 per week starting next week. Thanks to everyone that participated and made the day so valuable!
Here are the initial concepts and ideas behind the Open-DO initiative. Cyrille Comar gave this presentation at the Do-178C committee meeting in Cologne yesterday. It was a good crowd and a great presentation, lots of enthusiasm and excitement after. Thanks Cyrille!
Jose Ruiz will be attending the the OpenCert conference being held in York this coming March. His talk “Open-DO: Open Framework for Critical Systems” fits in nicely with the general theme of Open Source Software Certification.

This event in Paris will present real world examples that illustrate how ‘Lean Production’ concepts are being successfully applied to critical software development. In particular to applications that have to meet the highest levels of safety and security. The conference features a keynote from Lean guru Jim Sutton, Emmanuel Chenu from Thales, Alexandre Boutin from Yahoo, David Jackson from Praxis, and Roberto di Cosmo. Cyrille Comar will give the talk “Open DO: Towards a Lean Approach for Certification“.
