This page frames DO-178C-oriented test evidence as a workflow mapping problem: what was tested, with which version, through which tools, and what context survived for review.
Aerospace software teams rarely lack discipline. The problem is that evidence can be scattered across requirement tools, scripts, runners, logs, exports, reviews, and manual notes. Each item may be valid on its own while the chain between them remains expensive to reconstruct.
A diagnostic workflow map helps separate evidence that is already defensible from context that depends on a person remembering the run.
Evidence checklist
Which requirement, test case, script, and expected result were involved in the run.
Tool versions, environment state, input data, build identity, and operator or automation context.
Logs, anomalies, rationale, exported results, and sign-off context tied back to the same run.
What to map first
The first map should not cover every verification activity. Start with one workflow where the team already spends time aligning requirements, scripts, logs, exports, and reviewer questions.
Safe claims
Next step
Use the diagnostic kit to map the evidence chain, then bring the result to a workflow review if the gaps are structural.
