In this paper, We analyze and present improvements to problems in software quality through Static Analysis for Open Source, which is widely used as the Flight Controller software for small unmanned aerial vehicle drones. MISRA coding rules, which are widely applied based on software quality, have been selected. Static analysis tools were used by LDRA tools certified international tools used in all industries, including automobiles, railways, nuclear power and healthcare, as well as aviation. We have identified some safety-threatening problems across the quality of the software, such as structure of open source modules, analysis of usage data, compliance with coding rules, and quality indicators (complexity and testability), and have presented improvements.

As the scale of airborne system software increases, the use of OOT (Object-Oriented Technology) is increasing for functional expansion, efficient development, and code reuse, but the verification method for airborne object-oriented software is conducted from the perspective of the existing procedure-oriented program. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the characteristics of OOT and the vulnerabilities derived from the functional characteristics of OOT, and present a verification method applicable to each software development process (Design, Coding and Testing) to ensure the functional safety integrity of aviation software to which OOT is applied. Additionally, we analyzed the meaning of the static analysis results among the step-by-step verification measures proposed by applying LDRA, a static analysis automation tool, to PX4, an open source used to implement flight control software.
