The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) approach is a government/industry initiative, managed by the FACE Consortium under the auspices of The Open Group. Its goal is to reduce software development/deployment costs through source code portability and reuse and thereby avoid vendor lock-in. A key element of the FACE approach is an official process and test suite for verifying that software conforms to the requirements specified in the FACE Technical Standard. However, this process currently does not easily accommodate Ada, a language with a long history of successful usage in safety-critical airborne systems, both military and commercial. There is a solution to this hurdle, however: a practical approach to FACE conformance verification for Ada code (both Ada 95 and Ada 2012), in particular for software that is not part of the underlying operating system.
