Aerospace & Aviation
DO-178C-aware delivery for safety-critical avionics software.
Aerospace software must meet the most rigorous safety and certification standards in any industry. Helix supports DO-178C-aware development workflows with full requirements traceability and verification evidence generation.
Industry Challenges
What makes aerospace & aviation delivery hard
DO-178C Certification
Airborne software requires design assurance levels with complete traceability from requirements to code to test evidence.
Requirements Traceability
Every requirement must trace to design, implementation, and verification. Gaps in traceability halt certification.
Configuration Management
Strict configuration control over all development artifacts including requirements, code, tests, and build environments.
Verification Coverage
MC/DC coverage analysis, structural coverage, and robustness testing requirements create massive verification overhead.
The Helix Approach
How Helix delivers for aerospace & aviation
Requirements-to-Code Traceability
Every generated artifact links back to its originating requirement. Bidirectional traceability matrices are maintained automatically.
Verification Evidence Generation
Helix generates test cases, coverage reports, and verification evidence formatted for DER review and certification submissions.
Configuration-Controlled Pipelines
Build environments, tool qualifications, and artifact versioning are managed with the rigor certification demands.
Structural Coverage Analysis
Generated test suites target MC/DC coverage with automatic identification and generation of missing test cases.
