Avionics and control systems development for an aircraft (flights controls, flight management, engine controls) is everyday more complex. The software takes everytime a bigger part.
On the other side, certification authorities' standards are more constraignant.

These two aspects are creating more costs and dificulties for software testing, and testing is being a more critical part of the software development process. 

The 3 main criteria of CS Canada's "test solution" offer are:

• A competitive offer: a "cost effective" solution that optimizes costs.
• Tests that make the software more mature at the entry to service time, which lowers maintenance costs of the sotware in the future.
• Following the rules that enable to reach software certification with success.

Why our offer is different from the others?
By combining to the 3 following key points:

• A testing environment more adapted to our customer environnement. We build and integrate it ourselves. It includes test benches, structural coverage tools, configuration management, documentation, tracability tools, test activitites automatization. This integrated environment allows to do all the testing needed to software certification.
• A good knowledge of the DO178B (software development certification standard in aeronautics) and of the certification constraints, avionics systems and aeronautic fields expertise that allow us to perform excellent testing.
• A quality system and processes, a good knowledge ot the test platform that allows us to do testing efficiently.

Our testing facilities are based on opensource and COTS technologies, which can be updated and customized depending on our customer's needs. Our customers have the rights to change or update the technology if they need to do further modifications.

Our customer get the best tool, perfectly adapted to his needs, without having to pay licences.
