Zero-tolerance sector

Quality for flight-critical software that can't be recalled

Aerospace and defense builds the flight-critical and mission software running avionics, weapons, and command systems — where a defect can't be patched mid-flight. TestLauncher brings agentic testing, a compounding QA Brain, and continuous compliance to those programs, so every change stays traceable and every claim is defensible long before it flies.

Why zero tolerance here On the ground, a failed build is a rollback. At altitude, it's a loss of aircraft, crew, or mission — with no undo. Flight and mission systems collapse the distance between a latent defect and an unrecoverable event, which is exactly the zero-tolerance bar TestLauncher is built to hold.
The hard part

What makes quality hard in aerospace & defense

Real-time, safety-critical timing

Avionics runs to hard real-time deadlines where a missed millisecond is a failure, not a warning. Coverage has to reach the timing, concurrency, and fault-tolerance paths that scripted tests rarely touch.

Certification evidence at every change

DO-178C demands unbroken traceability from requirement to test to object code. Every change re-opens the evidence burden, and manual regeneration doesn't scale across a program that spans decades.

Export-controlled, air-gapped programs

ITAR and classified environments forbid technical data leaving controlled boundaries. Tooling has to run sovereign and on-premise, with no dependence on external cloud or third-party inference.

Decade-long system lifecycles

Programs outlive the engineers who built them and the toolchains they were built with. Institutional knowledge has to survive attrition, hardware obsolescence, and generations of requirements churn.

How TestLauncher helps

One intelligence layer for aerospace & defense

The same owned QA Brain — testing, knowledge, and compliance — focused on the risks this sector can’t afford to get wrong.

Launch App

The deterministic, air-gappable foundation runs entirely inside your controlled boundary — sovereign QA and knowledge with no data leaving ITAR or classified environments.

bugAgent

Scriptless suites that self-adapt across builds and configurations, driving timing, fault-injection, and edge-case exploration that scripted regression never reaches.

ARC

Certification evidence — DO-178C traceability and requirement-to-test mapping — accumulated as a background byproduct of testing, not a manual scramble before an audit.

qualThread

A living digital thread that carries requirements, rationale, and test history across decades, so knowledge survives attrition and obsolete toolchains rather than dying with them.

Standards & frameworks

Designed to support the regimes you work toward

TestLauncher is designed to support programs working toward the standards below and generates the traceability and evidence they call for. Naming a standard here is not a claim of certification — it describes the regimes our customers operate in.

  • DO-178C

    Guidance for software considerations in airborne systems and equipment certification, the primary reference for flight software assurance.

  • DO-254

    Design assurance guidance for airborne electronic hardware, the hardware companion to DO-178C.

  • ARP4754A

    Guidelines for the development of civil aircraft and systems, covering the overall system development lifecycle.

  • DO-326A / ED-202A

    Airworthiness security process aimed at protecting aircraft systems from intentional cyber threats.

  • ITAR

    International Traffic in Arms Regulations governing the handling and export of defense technical data.
