The Presagis VAPS XT-178 is a safety-critical software package for creating embedded display graphics for avionics applications intended for RTCA DO-178B certification. It is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) object-oriented DO-178B qualified HMI tool that retains the core features of the VAPS XT HMI tool and adds on to that to enable end users to claim credit towards their certification requirements. Because the package is an XML-based HMI tool, VAPS XT-178 allows the user to create custom widgets, save them, and re-use them from project to project. VAPS XT-178 can be used to certify ARINC 661 and non-ARINC 661 applications.
VAPS XT-178, according to Presagis, shortens the time required for developing certifiable embedded software products by reducing the effort required within the software design, coding, and testing phases of the graphics display development life cycle. The end user may utilize the documents and test cases provided with the product in order to obtain credit for the tool qualification as part of the total system certification.
