Features for Avionics Product Development

Integrated Aviation Systems Engineering

Stay organized and transparent in managing the highly complex development processes of aviation software and hardware end products. Adhere to SEBoK guidelines. Blend any Agile and V-model development process in your projects, and use branching to integrate separate development streams with complete transparency. Manage requirements looping in all collaborators and disciplines, and replace document-based development relying on codeBeamer ALM’s seamless document import-export capabilities. Achieve gapless traceability by associating requirements with downstream artifacts all the way to testing and release. Build a sound risk management lifecycle. Simplify collaboration between both internal teams and 3rd party collaborators using codeBeamer’s export-import features and integrations (IBM® Rational® DOORS®, Jira, ReqIF, MS Word, MS Excel, Enterprise Architect, MATLAB Simulink, Jenkins, etc).

Aviation Product Line Management

Reduce rework and achieve efficiencies in the engineering of aviation product lines. Easily manage product commonality and variability, no matter the complexity of your products. Manage parallel development branches and integrate streams in a controlled and transparent way. Cut costs by reusing development artifacts or validated product components. Accelerate product verification and maintain adherence to avionics regulations by reusing project configurations and workflows in the development of multiple product variants.

Security and Approval Workflows

Set project access permissions on different layers and granularity levels for a secure working environment. Rely on user and role-based security features for permission control. Use preconfigured workflows to support DO-178C and DO-254 compliance, and define custom workflows to suit your processes. Build gates into your development processes for complete approval control. Use the Review Hub to manage approvals across stakeholders in a transparent and convenient way. Have your processes request electronic signatures to ensure that important documents and specifications are reviewed before they are acted upon.

AERO-Features-RISK ALM for Aviation & Defense Systems Development

Avionics Risk Management

Integrate risk management in your development lifecycle to build safe and reliable airborne electronics or other avionics products. Identify and analyze hazards, and implement a controlled risk management workflow to eliminate mistakes at the earliest possible step. Use preconfigured artifacts, or customize your own work items to keep track of risk attributes. Define custom workflows to implement a meticulous risk management lifecycle. Connect risks, requirements, and all other artifacts upstream and downstream to maintain risk traceability. Reduce the effort needed to comply with the risk-related requirements of aviation regulations.

Aviation Quality Assurance & Testing

Achieve maturity in avionics quality assurance. Ensure lifecycle-wide focus on the quality, safety, and reliability of your aviation products. Tie in quality goals with development tasks, and rely on QA best practices along the lifecycle. Use fast, efficient, and accurate automated or manual testing to validate your aviation products. Trace and manage all product quality assurance activities from requirements to released product, all within codeBeamer ALM. Execute manual testing or automate it via Jenkins. Use parameterized testing, and integrate 3rd party QA and testing tools to maintain data consistency. Analyze Test Coverage conveniently. Monitor, analyze, and report on testing data in real time with customizable dashboards.

Best Practices and Repeatable Processes

Configure codeBeamer ALM to support your company’s standard operating procedures. Customize projects, workflows, and artifact attributes to suit your development processes. Visualize and automate workflows, add guards to avoid deviations, and set conditional actions triggered by certain events. Save costs and reduce the number of errors by reusing project configurations, verified processes, and validated requirements as you see fit.

Compliance with Aviation Regulations and Standards

Rely on codeBeamer’s wide range of workflow, audit trail, and reporting features. Use Intland’s Avionics DO-178C & DO-254 Template to accelerate audits, and customize its built-in processes to suit your needs. Achieve compliance with aviation regulations and standards like DO-178B or C (ED-12B or C in Europe) for the software development processes of airborne flight equipment and avionics software, or DO-254 (airborne electric hardware). Use baked-in best practices, or define your own workflows and artifacts. Trace requirements to code, test, and release, and easily access traceability reports. Use baselines for versioning the states of rapidly changing specifications, compare documentation, and pinpoint differences for audit & certification purposes.

Configurable and Extendable Aviation Platform

Rely on codeBeamer ALM’s inherent flexibility and open architecture to support all contributors across the aviation product development lifecycle. Customize work item data types, define workflows, and flexibly adapt project configurations to your needs using a convenient GUI. Use smart import-export features to exchange data between codeBeamer ALM and other elements of your toolchain. Rely on out-of-the-box integrations like IBM® Rational® DOORS®, Jira, and Jenkins, or use REST or Swagger API to build custom integrations. Connect the platform to agosense or Tasktop to open up the system to third party tools and services conveniently.
