Understanding DO-330

DO-330 defines how the tools you use to develop and verify aerospace software must be qualified. Published alongside DO-178C, it establishes a dedicated framework for tool qualification that applies across the aerospace software domain. It supports compliance with DO-178C for airborne software and DO-278A for ground-based software.

The qualification level required for each tool depends on the role it plays in your development or verification process and on the criticality of the software it is used on. DO-330 provides a structured way to assess that risk and determine what evidence your certification authority will expect.

Qualifying your tools under DO-330 means proving that they behave as intended and won't introduce undetected errors into your software. In practice, this means providing documented evidence — objectives, test cases, and traceability — that gives your certification authority confidence in every tool in your toolchain.

Our Solutions for Your DO-330 Compliance 

We offer a suite of tools designed to support safety-critical software development in aerospace and other regulated industries. All three tools below include Tool Qualification Kits that support DO-330 using a structured and auditable path to tool qualification.  

 

Axivion
Analyses your Code and Architecture
Axivion finds the vulnerabilities in your code by verifying code and software architecture at the same time. It catches coding defects before they become costly problems.
 
The Tool Qualification Kit for Axivion can be used for DO-330 certification to provide the evidence needed to qualify Axivion as a suitable tool in safety-critical airborne system development. 
 
Coco
Code Coverage Analysis
Coco tracks exactly which parts of your code get tested and which don’t. Its MC/DC coverage capability goes further than most tools on the market.
 
You can generate audit-ready reports aligned with DO-330, and use the Tool Qualification Kit for Coco to support your DO-330 certification. 

Squish
Automated GUI Testing
Squish automates the testing of real user interfaces across desktop, mobile, web, and embedded applications from a single tool. It supports requirements-based testing, functional testing, and risk-based testing across platforms.
 
The Tool Qualification Kit for Squish covers the required proof according to DO-330.
 

Tool Qualification Kits for Aerospace Software

DO-330 requires that any tools involved in the development and testing of software must prove that they are suitable for use in safety-critical environments. The Tool Qualification Kits for our solutions are designed to do exactly that.
