The Reality

DO-178C compliance shouldn't eat your engineering budget.

Manual traceability is the primary bottleneck.
DO-178C demands full bidirectional traceability across six artifact layers. Most teams maintain this in spreadsheets. Every requirements change triggers weeks of manual reconciliation before your DER can even begin the SOI review.
Documentation is created after engineering, not during it.
Engineers build the software, then try to create the certification record retroactively. Gaps discovered at Stage of Involvement reviews trigger costly rework — and program delays of 6 to 12 months.
One change cascades through the entire artifact chain.
A single requirements change in week 47 of a 3-year program touches high-level requirements, low-level design, code, test cases, and test results. Without automated impact analysis, teams spend weeks tracing it by hand.
How Ketryx Works

One platform that connects compliance to development.

DO-178C lifecycle data, generated automatically.

As your engineers write requirements in Jira, push code to GitHub, and run tests in TestRail, Ketryx generates the complete artifact package — Software Requirements Specification, bidirectional trace matrix, test result linkage — in real time. Your certification package builds itself.

Real-time bidirectional traceability.

Requirements, design, code, test cases, and test results are connected across every tool in your stack. Ketryx maintains the trace chain automatically — so when your DER schedules an SOI review, you're already audit-ready.

AI-powered change impact analysis.

When a system requirement changes, Ketryx's AI instantly maps the impact through every layer of your artifact stack — affected requirements, design decisions, test cases, and pending results. You see the full blast radius before the change is accepted.
