Using VectorCAST for ISO 26262 Software Verification and Validation for Automotive Functional Safety
●Automotive Market Trends:
■Over the past decades, software has played an ever more increasing role in the design of automotive systems. Automobiles are moving away from hardware-based innovations to software-based innovations. According to McKinsey, in 2010 the average vehicle contained 10 million lines of code. Today there are some vehicles with more than 150 million lines of code. (McKinsey & Company, “Rethinking car software and electronics architecture”, Burkacky, Deichmann, Doll, and Knochenhauer, Feb 2018) Clearly, car manufacturers are counting on software to provide market differentiation.
■McKinsey identifies four examples of how software is enabling critical automotive innovations: Connectivity, Autonomous Driving, Electrification and Diverse Mobility. In all these innovations, it is clear that software safety and quality will play a major role in improving consumer acceptance and limiting manufacturer liability.
■To address these safety and quality concerns the automotive industry has adopted the ISO 26262 standard which addresses best practices for the development of electrical and electronic systems.
●The VectorCAST Test Automation Platform:
■The VectorCAST family of tools is used by software developers worldwide to perform unit, integration, and system testing of complex enterprise and embedded software systems and is well suited to support many of the software activities required for ISO 26262 verification.
●VectorCAST Certification:
■VectorCAST is certified by TÜV SÜD for use in an ISO 26262 standard-conforming development process for any ASIL. This certification allows customers to develop with confidence, and gives quality auditors a consistent, recognized foundation on which to base their assessments. For customers requiring even higher confidence in their configuration, Vector offers a VectorCAST Tool Qualification package to prove that a particular testing setup is operating correctly.
