OpenCert is an integrated and holistic solution for assurance and certification management of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) spanning the largest safety and security-critical industrial markets, such as aerospace, space, railway, manufacturing, energy and health. The ultimate aim is to lower certification costs in face of rapidly changing product features and market needs.

OpenCert is not a monolithic platform. The OpenCert Tool Platform is composed of various contributions that cover the different features:
■ OpenCert Core toolset supports evidence management, assurance case specification and compliance management functionalities.
■ The CHESS toolset adds support for Architecture-Driven Assurance. The CHESS toolset leverages another important PolarSys project, the Papyrus platform for UML design and profiles.
■ EPF Composer supports the process specification and process compliance.

The main contributions to OpenCert come from the AMASS project (https://www.amass-ecsel.eu).
