Abstract
WA-DGNSS is a system to service for users using a satellite which received correction data from ground station that calculates the relative errors of the tracked GNSS signals and sends to a satellite. Users are guaranteed the reliability of the GNSS signal and the accuracy of positioning. ICAO recommends the application of WA-DGNSS for the airplane taking off and landing process. In this paper, we suggests methods to verify of the pre-developed WA-DGNSS reference software constituting modules and an integration test process refer to the RTCA DO-278 which is a document for the development process of an aeronautics software. Also, we statistically verified the reference software test through our methods. And then, we confirmed to performance the function of the reference software properly.
