DO178B Gap Analysis is an evaluation of your current avionics software engineering process and artifacts as contrasted to those required by DO-178B. While DO-178B was principally written to cover original, custom developed avionics software, there is RECOGNITION that PREVIOUSLY developed software can be DO-178B certified. In many cases, particularly MILITARY avionics software, DO-178B Compliance is used instead of DO-178B certification.

DO-178B Compliance is near-certification but does not require FAA involvement and several of the formal DO-178B requirements are lessened. DO-178B Gap Analysis is typically performed by trained DO-178B consultants or Designated Engineering REPRESENTATIVES. The resultant DO-178B Gap Analysis ROADMAP assesses all of the software processes and artifacts. It provides details for filling the gap to meet DO-178B compliance or certification requirements.
