Comparison of Object Oriented Technology Automatic Codes Generating Tools for Safety Critical Real-Time Software

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to compare two different automatic code generating software tools and the suitability of each for the development of safety-critical real-time software systems. The tools used are Rhapsody and SCADE for Avionics. Rhapsody will generate software under ANSI C++ standards and guidelines, while SCADE for Avionics will produce DO-178B certifiable ANSI C++ software. A simple system was designed by both tools and the result of the code execution was discussed focusing on the deterministic characteristic of safety critical Real-Time systems.
