Abstract
The Ada95 programming language is widely used for implementation of embedded safety-critical airborne systems and equipment. The RTCA/DO-178B is a mature standard for certifying such systems and equipment through testing. This paper focuses on the solution DDC-I will provide for RTCA/DO-178B level A certification of Ada95 applications though its new SCORE compiler/debugger product line and associated test tools products. Furthermore, the paper outlines how the DDC-I approach relates to the work in the ESPRIT OMI/SAFE project which aims at establishing a complete software factory for the development and certification of embedded safety-critical applications.
