Obviously the potential interactions have to be tested for.3. Note that while the core software is fairly static and most flight customization will be by changing variables in tables you will need to test those settings over the range of parameters the vehicle could be exposed to. That demands a flight simulator that's as validated as the software that runs on the vehicle. 3. There is no "flight simulator". The software integration laboratory is the an exact replicate of a flight vehicle's avionics. The software is tested on the same hardware as what flies.
