Simulating real-time safety

摘要

The Joint Strike Fighter has 6 million lines of software, and pilots in the heat of battle don't want to discover any software glitches. "There's no issue putting more software into a plane," said Dan Raun, Aerospace and Defense Industry Marketing Manager, The MathWorks. "The huge issue involves putting the correct software in." That detail puts the onus on the test and simulation tools used to prove out software quality. Adding to the challenge is the trend to outsource projects to a number of specialized contractors who handle different aspects of the program. If one vendor makes a change, it can impact everyone down the line.
