Digitalisation and New Tools for Testing and Certification
EFB testing requirements for EASA/FAA/ANAC EFB approval
The evolving landscape and digitalisation of avionics hardware and software testing and certification brings opportunities, but also challenges. Staff shortages and the need for skilled engineers with digital capabilities are significant concerns, as well as there is a growing interest in model-based approaches and alternative languages, such as Cheri and Rust. Addressing these challenges requires effective training programs and strategies to attract new talent. The digital transformation of avionics testing necessitates a proactive approach to workforce development and the adoption of advanced testing methodologies, such as testing for data leaks and exploring the potential of virtual health monitoring or formalising Human Machine Interface (HMI) certification in the context of avionics systems. It is essential to invest in innovative testing tools, methodologies and digitisation to ensure the safety and reliability of software systems.
