Abstract

This paper relates an industrial experience in the field of formal verification of avionics software products. Ten years ago we presented our very first technological research results in [18]. What was just an idea plus some experimental results at that time is now an industrial reality. Indeed, since 2001, Airbus has been integrating several tool supported formal verification techniques into the development process of avionics software products. Just like all aspects of such processes, the use of formal verification techniques must comply with DO-178B [9] objectives and Airbus has been a pioneer in this domain.
