Abstract

The Development Assurance Level (DAL) indicates the level of rigor of the development of a software or hardware function of an aircraft. We propose a theory formalizing the DAL allocation rules found in the ARP4754a recommended practices. A tool implementing this theory was developed in order to assist the safety specialists when checking or optimizing a DAL allocation.
