Nearly all vehicle innovations today are strongly influenced by electronics and the software related to electronics. But problems in this area are the main reason for vehicle failures. On the other hand, development times are becoming shorter and shorter, with ever more suppliers delivering components for OEMs.
In these conditions, a development process is needed that efficiently increases integrated planning and control of the development of control devices and their software.
From customer requirements for function networks and their partitioning on control devices through to software development and testing/troubleshooting, it must always be possible to keep a clear view of the state of development.
Components of E/E development process
Valtech helps you to design your E/E development process efficiently. Our strength is primarily in the combination of specialist know-how and the conception of IT solutions intended to support the development process.
In particular, we offer consulting in the following functional and technical areas:
- Process integration
- Creation of solution concepts within the E/E process chain as well as their implementation
- Creation of functional and technical architecture concepts in the E/E environment for the standardization and simplification of IT systems (PDM, requirements tools, test management tools)
- Support of E/E development processes with methods from architecture management and technical quality assurance (requirements management, test and problem management, configuration management, change management)
Markus Tecza, Senior Advisor in the Automotive Department of Valtech Deutschland, reports in his new white paper how requirements-based test management can optimize the development process and make it more transparent.
