Practical design recovery techniques for embedded operating system on complying with RTCA/DO-178B and ISO/IEC15408

Abstract

As robustness, stability, and security have been emphasized as the critical success factors of software and systems in the various fields of industry, achieving certification based on a verification of compliance with standards is regarded as the best solution which proves a reliability of product and provides a great marketing tool. Despite such an importance, most developers have scruple about documenting development processes sufficiently. Furthermore, most of software companies try to get a certification after a development of product. As a result, applicants preparing certification are in a quandary about making sufficient materials for certification process. To solve this problem, we present the practical techniques which could be used to recover the details of software design from product and source code in compliance with RTCA/DO-178B and ISO/IEC15408 standards. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
