Test & validate requirements in natural language

Stimulus is a simulation environment to test and verify requirements in natural language. This tool is aimed at the critical systems market as it is underpinned by formal methods but it is very useful for agile developments with rapidly changing requirements. Requirements can be validated quickly before  any design let alone coding.

Safe and Secure Virtualization for the Next Generation of Avionics

The next generation of Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA-NG) is being developed under the EU-funded SCARLETT project. It requires both multiple application execution environments, of varying degrees of criticality, and the ability to reconfigure resources on the platform, while still meeting safety standards. Chris Hills examines how Safe and Secure Virtualization (SSV) can meet these demanding requirements.
