Effortless ECSS Compliance – Automating software development documentation in the space industry

The growing complexity of space applications, such as launchers, satellites, kick stages and payloads, poses an immense challenge to developers in terms of software qualification. Qualification requires developers to spend considerable time on reporting tasks and creating complex, fully traceable documentation manually. This takes valuable time away from coding and advancing development, driving up the costs of mission-critical software.

Astra Labs offers a toolkit powered by human-centered AI that is specifically tailored to automate the time-consuming tasks required by ECSS standards. The toolkit reduces defects and errors in the resulting software and artefacts by enabling developers to focus on critical coding tasks instead of mentally exhausting manual documentation work. The tool also maintains up-to-date documentation for developers and quality assurance teams to review, and flags potential inconsistencies and errors.

Benefits:

• Automates ECSS software qualification activities by leveraging human-centered AI solutions.
• Improves developer productivity, documentation consistency and life cycle quality.
• Plugs into existing software development processes.
• Aggregates the vast amounts of data generated by these processes, including requirements, test cases, reviews, source code and test results.
