Endicott, N.Y. January 21, 2003. ENSCO has launched the Six Star program, a new verification package for high-reliability, safety critical avionics software through RTCA/DO-178B/ED-12B. The program provides continually refined testing approaches and automation at six distinct levels of service: software requirements, design, source code, review, analysis and module test. For each level, the Six Star program provides a defined set of tasks to evaluate the development of the avionics software against safety critical standards.
ENSCO has automated many of the more tedious tasks involved with the comprehensive software unit testing. Services include a quick turn-around on Rough Order of Magnitude quote and a customized quote based off of Source Lines Of Code requirements or complexity. ENSCO offers remote or on-site unit test development capabilities.
ENSCO has over 280,000 hours of software unit test experience and 300+ engineers who are experienced with all phases of safety critical software development.
