Different certifications drive many markets to ensure safety. While Linux offers a solid platform to build a product, it in general does not go through tests and validation to ensure certifications needed in automotive, medical, mil/aero, or industrial markets. 

MontaVista Linux has an advanced Carrier-Grade development paradigm including aspects of continuous improvement and requirements-to-implementation traceability. These features allow us to assist customers to accomplish needed validation, testing, and documentation. 

MontaVista has worked with several customers on different types of certification needs. Below are examples of where MontaVista can be of assistance.
