DO-178B and DO-254 Training 

CertTech provides customers with training and workshop activities for these FAA-endorsed processes for Software and Complex Electronic Hardware.  The courses are offered separately or as a package and they are designed to provide attendees with a thorough understanding of the FAA regulated environment and practical ‘hands-on’ applications of the associated processes.

DO-178B and DO-254 Consulting 

CertTech helps customers with the following services:

• Certification plan development
• Software QA support, including review of life cycle data items
• Preparation for compliance audits
• Support for sub-tier suppliers
• Development of process documentation
• Preparation of data for TSO submittal

Activities Requiring Independence 

Because of CertTech's experience with V&V and QA, we can provide these services which often require independence under the DO-178B and DO-254 processes. Our staff can perform the full range of verification activities, including requirements review, test creation, test review, test execution and reporting. We can also provide Software QA and HPA audit services, using customer procedures, or those that CertTech recommends.

Document Preparation

CertTech engineers have experience preparing formal documents for software certification submissions. We can either prepare the documents or review customer documents and make appropriate recommendations where necessary.
