This is the first comprehensive look at this standard provided by practitioners responsible for assessing Do-254 compliance. The book helps fill a void created by differing regulatory interpretations and widely disparate opinions on how and when DO-254 should be applied. The book offers a fairly straight-forward treatment of the complete contents of DO-254. The strongest chapters are those devoted to hardware requirements analysis/capture and something the authors have dubbed "Design Assurance Through Design Practice." These chapters drive home the point that design assurance is much more than simply completing certain process-driven documentation. Rather, the proper application of design assurance requires a strong foundation of solid requirements implemented and verified via a mindset of bulletproofing your design and going the extra mile to anticipate possible faults in your logic. Detailed examples focused on ways shift registers can misbehave due to clock skew or synthesis tools can modify your logic design thus creating problems in unexpected places are especially beneficial to the reader. There are opportunities for improvement in the second edition including more discussion of where it may be possible to reduce effort for lower design assurance levels, more background on safety concerns associated with specific technologies (e.g., SRAM, COTS IP), creation and use of appropriate HDL standards, and how to ensure successful SOI audits of your DO-254 processes. A second edition could also easily add additional material of other potential error sources and how they should be addressed/mitigated within the DO-254 context. Finally, a treatment of additional verification techniques including Assertion-Based Verification (ABV) and Constrained Random Testing (CRT) and their use in satisfying DO-254 objectives would be helpful. Even without this material, this book is a significant contribution toward helping practitioners use and comply with DO-254. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely phenomenal book on DO-254. *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 15, 2015* This is, by far, the best book ever written on DO-254 specifically in regards to the philosophy of requirements and what it means to have a correct requirement. The future of verification is in this book - the industry as a whole will go over to DO-254 type requirements based verification as designs become more and more complex. I believe people will look back on this book in 10-15 years as similar to the 'Gang of Four' Design Patterns book that has designed software for the past twenty years.This book is very much a cognizant, detailed and thoughtful effort - while the main topics of the book can be used as a casual reader for managers, as a DO-254 verification low level contractor I cannot express enough gratitude regarding the detail - it has answered many questions that cannot be answered by an RTCA specification or DO-254.com planning charts. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent guide to RTCA/DO-254 and its implications and practice in reality. *by T***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 28, 2015* I have been hoping someone would write a practical guide to RTCA/DO-254. It is here in this book. Written by two professionals that have lived it for many years. There is sufficient background on the RTCA guidance document for the novice to understand the intent and for the long suffering to explore the aha! moments of understanding. I thoroughly enjoyed these moments of insight myself as I read and reread the text. There is an excellent chapter on requirements which gives insight into a method of approach that makes the requirements-based verification of the end item almost a no-brainer! This chapter alone is worth the investment for those involved in requirements-based design and verification. It is about time.
