At the same time, software technology is changing, projects are pressed to develop software faster and more cheaply, and the software is being used in more critical ways. \u003cstrong\u003eDeveloping Safety-Critical Software: A Practical Guide for Aviation Software and DO-178C Compliance \u003c\/strong\u003eequips you with the information you need to effectively and efficiently develop safety-critical, life-critical, and mission-critical software for aviation. The principles also apply to software for automotive, medical, nuclear, and other safety-critical domains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn international authority on safety-critical software, the author helped write DO-178C and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's policy and guidance on safety-critical software.
