Software can't be tested into safety, so aviation assures the process that built it.

By the end of this module you will be able to:

• Explain why airborne software is approved on the basis of process and evidence, not testing alone

• Describe what DO-178C is, what it is not, and how regulators recognize it

• Navigate the structure of DO-178C and read a row of an Annex A objectives table

Tip: turn on captions (CC) in the player if you prefer to read along. When you're done, take the Module 1 quiz.
