Abstract

Software reviews are one of the most efficient quality assurance techniques in software engineering. They are required for the enhancement of the software quality in early phases of the development process and often used in development of safety critical systems. In the field of software engineering for Air Traffic Management (ATM) the standard DO-278/ED-109 requires the rigorous application of code reviews and fully traceable reporting of the results. This case study presents a process and an IDE-integrated tool that complies with the requirements of the standard.
