Melbourne, Florida-based Certon, which develops testing protocols, software and hardware for avionics certification, is demonstrating its CertSafe and CertBench products at Booth 1537 this week during NBAA 2016. According to Certon director of marketing Victor DiGiovine, the company’s “internally developed tools and processes are proven to address trending challenges in avionics software and electronic hardware certification approvals. CertSafe and CertBench support full automation of validation and verification activities.”
The company produces an end-to-end solution that reduces the time it takes to verify and validate avionics hardware and software solutions for business aircraft. CertSafe is a model-based development and verification tool that allows rapid prototyping. It lets development teams know that they are building the correct system before they even begin putting together the hardware and target software. 
The CertSafe interface shows system change impacts in real time and uses open file formats. It supports automation by the pilot and works well in fully automated lab test environments, such as Certon’s proprietary CertBench testing environment. The test cases and procedures generated by CertSafe are processed automatically by CertBench test environments, which verify safety-critical software without having to write test scripts or other code.
