Assure the Systems That Defend and Explore
In aerospace and defense, every defect introduces unacceptable risk. Stratos™ by Clear Sky is an enterprise-grade, AI-powered test automation platform designed for mission-critical assurance across secure software systems, data-driven applications, and complex multi-vendor integrations.
Aerospace & Defense Testing
How does Clear Sky test aerospace and defense systems?
Clear Sky's Stratos™ platform validates the software applications, APIs, and batch and file-driven workflows used across aerospace and defense programs — including secure back-end systems, data-processing pipelines, and multi-vendor software integrations.
It runs as a hybrid deployment, with execution runners installed on-prem communicating securely with the Stratos™ SaaS platform, connects over standard and custom protocols (REST, SOAP, raw TCP/IP, sockets, and binary message formats), and produces audit-ready, immutable records that help support NIST 800-53, DoD STIG, and ISO 27001.
Why Aerospace & Defense Programs Choose Stratos™
Hybrid On-Prem Deployment
Runs execution runners on-prem within your environment while securely connecting to the Stratos™ SaaS platform — supporting high-security programs without requiring a fully air-gapped setup.
Multi-Domain Architecture Testing
Validates complex, multi-layer software architectures and the integrations between them — across mission programs, vendors, and platforms.
System-of-Systems Coverage
Enables end-to-end system-of-systems testing across heterogeneous protocols, vendor-delivered components, and mission-specific integrations.
Compliance-Aligned Execution
Maintains immutable records for certification and audit, with practices aligned to help support NIST 800-53, DoD STIG, and ISO 27001.
AI-Powered Test Intelligence
Provides AI-powered test case generation and prioritization for safety-critical workflows — reducing manual effort while increasing coverage.
Traceable Results
Maintain full traceability from requirements to test execution results — essential for certification, compliance, and program review.
Stratos™ Capabilities for Aerospace & Defense
Functional, Load & Performance Testing in One Platform
Validate logic, performance, and resilience simultaneously — across real-time or asynchronous systems.
Standard & Custom Protocol Connectivity
Connect to systems under test over REST, SOAP, raw TCP/IP, sockets, and custom binary message formats — driving tests against the software behind them.
Batch & File-Driven Workflow Validation
Automate the generation and verification of batch files, data logs, encrypted reports, and downstream processing outcomes.
Hybrid On-Prem Runners
Deploy Stratos™ execution runners on-prem for local control over test execution and data handling, while they communicate securely with the Stratos™ SaaS platform.
Traceability for Compliance & Verification
Maintain immutable records of test cases, results, and linked requirements for certification and audit.
Multi-Vendor Integration Testing
Coordinate and validate vendor-delivered APIs, components, and systems for deployment-readiness.
Use Case Highlights
Mission-Support Application Testing
Validate authentication, business logic, and operational workflows across secure, distributed software systems — ensuring they perform reliably under operational conditions.
Batch & Data Workflow Validation
Ingest and verify batch files, structured data, and downstream processing results across distributed software systems — from intake to final output.
Automated Regression Testing
Run repeatable, deterministic regression suites across software applications and integrations — ensuring no regression across releases and updates.
Secure Batch File & Log Processing
Validate encrypted or binary files exchanged during system events, maintenance, or operations — confirming downstream processing and reporting accuracy.
Multi-Vendor Integration Testing
Coordinate and validate vendor-delivered APIs, components, and systems for deployment-readiness across complex program environments.
