Topic
Defect Management and Metrics
Chris Holl, Director of Quality at DriveCam
All software projects find bugs. How do we track them so none are lost and the right decisions are made about fixing them? And what can we learn from defects to avoid repeating them? In this talk we will cover some best practices for defect management, including workflows that work, fields that capture critical project and process improvement data, and the most important metrics to share with users. We will also learn how to roll out defect management processes and tools to avoid mistakes in implementation and data collection. The cultural impact of tracking defects will provides some valuable - and at time entertaining - insights to successfully managing project and product quality and process.

There are key ingredients you must have to create and deliver presentations that keep your audience interested versus making them pretend they are awake, but they are falling asleep. This presentation will use those key ingredients to deliver an entertaining and hopefully memorable presentation.

Main Topic
DO178B - An Overview and Background on Civil Software Certification Standards
David Cirulli, CEMSol
This topic deals with the discussion of the FAA guidance on civil software development for commercial aircraft — DO-178B/ED-12B SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS IN AIRBORNE SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATION. Starting with the inception of DO-178 along with the history of change that lead to DO-178B and now the soon to be released DO-178C, this session provides a top level view of what it means to create software for airborne systems, the pit-falls and hurdles of FAA compliance and some light-hearted discussion on applicable systems and why avionics engineers desire to be “certifiable.”
