SCADE is a development environment used by system and software engineers to produce mission and safety-critical applications. SCADE, a commercial product from Esterel Technologies that is based upon the formal, synchronous and data-flow oriented Lustre programming language, generates production quality C or Ada code.
SCADE has been qualified as a development tool for DO-178B up to level A. As a result, SCADE is used most heavily in the aerospace and defense domains however its capabilities also serve transportation, automotive, energy, and heavy equipment software development environments.
