Application of Software Reliability in Civil Aircraft Airborne Software Development

Airborne software has become an important factor affecting aircraft reliability. The OEM of civil aircraft pays great attention to the safety and reliability of airborne software. Due to human factors contribute to the defects of airborne software, effectively removing airborne software defects caused by human factors is the basic practice to improve software reliability. To carry out software reliability assurance for airborne software with software with different levels, we try to apply software reliability engineering methods or techniques in the development of airborne software, to avoid, identify, eliminate or reduce software defects and enhance airborne software reliability assurance capabilities, as the supplemental and support assurance measures for DO-178B/C in software development process.
