DO-178C objective 6.4.4.c includes a required activity to verify additional code introduced by the compiler for DAL A projects i.e. code, that cannot be traced to Source Code, to demonstrate the correctness of such additional code sequences.
Often called a “hidden” activity of DO-178C, its placement within the 6.4.4.c objective can lead to confusion.
At first glance, objective 6.4.4.c is about test coverage of software structure rather than verification, yet activity 6.4.4.2.b clearly requires demonstrating that the correctness of the object code has been verified. Demonstrating coverage and correctness are very different things.
In this webinar you will learn why this activity is different to other activities in 6.4.4.c and how to perform it.
