Development of an AUTOSAR software component based on the V-model

Abstract

The number of software supported systems in vehicles is constantly growing. All carmakers have more or less problems to handle the high number of software functions. Because, traditionally, each function is implemented by a separate control unit, also the number of control units has reached a tremendous level. The key points to master this situation are reusing und integration of functions. The AUTOSAR standard supports both approaches by defining standardized interfaces for software components. This chapter describes the approach to develop software components along the well-known V-Model. All process phases, from the analysis phase to the test phase of the function oriented development process are shown. Furthermore, all tools supporting the different phases are demonstrated. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
