Research on Tool Appraisal Process Based on DO-330 Standard
Airborne system development includes six aspects:planning,function development,configura-tion,simulation,integration and verification.Each process needs the support of specific tools.Tools ana-lyze and improve system security by automating the performance of desired functions and avoiding the in-troduction of human errors.Consideration of the user's confidence in the activities performed by the tool led to the concept of tool authentication,whose purpose is to gain user trust in the functionality of the tool.This paper takes the tools used in the software development life cycle as an example to describe the whole life-cycle process of tool appraisal,and analyzes the process of tool appraisal through a practical case,hoping to have certain reference value to the tool users and developers of airborne system.
