Avionics software development requires different levels of code coverage based on the assurance level of the software, which is based on what kind of aircraft failure condition would result from a software anomaly. For Level A software (catastrophic failure),
the required code coverage includes modified condition/decision coverage (MC/DC). Here are several good resources explaining various aspects of this type of code coverage:
