 Assess the “Gap” between your current
processes/practices, and those necessary for DO-178C,
DO-254, & DO-178
 Leverage existing artifacts/processes and develop
minimum path to “close the gap”
 If no budget, do your own Gap Analysis
 If budget, Google “DO-178C Gap Analysis” and hire an
expert; 2-4 weeks to perform (AFuzion has performed
