Along with a growing worldwide influence of Free Software, computer programs are being increasingly used for safety-critical purposes such as in aircraft or nuclear plant control systems. In this context, the Couverture project is motivated by three driving goals: 1) Develop innovative coverage analysis tools to help the certification of safety-critical applications, in accordance with official guidelines such as the DO-178B standard, 2) Encourage synergy between Free Software projects and Industry on certification issues, and 3) Define the notion of Free Certification Artifacts, open material allowing qualification of a software component for use in DO-178B like certification processes. This project is a typical example of what the Open-DO initiative promotes. See www.open-do.org.
