Beyond Tradition: Evaluating Agile feasibility in DO-178C for Aerospace Software Development.
CoRR(2023)
摘要
Domain-specific standards and guidelines play a crucial role in regulating
safety-critical systems, with one notable example being the DO-178C document
for the aerospace industry. This document provides guidelines for organisations
seeking to ensure the safety and certification of their software systems. This
paper analyses the DO-178C document within the context of software development
for safety-critical aerospace systems focusing on Agile software development,
aiming to assess its feasibility. Unlike restricting specific development
methods, DO-178C offers indispensable support that upholds confidence in
safety, aligning seamlessly with the objectives of aerospace industries. Our
analysis reveals that there are no limitations or restrictions within the
DO-178C that inhibit the adoption of Agile and provides guidelines and
objectives for achieving suitable evidence, allowing for various working
methods, including Agile methods, contrary to the overall opinion in the
industry that the traditional waterfall method is mandatory. Additionally, we
emphasise that the guidelines explanation is explicitly tailored to software
professionals using Agile methods, giving it a much more specific focus than
publications that only provide a generic overview of the standard.
