Cost-Effective Unit Testing and Integration in Accordance with ISO 26262

摘要

The modern automobile is a maze of interactive electromechanical systems. Many of them, such as brakes, steering, airbags, powertrain, and adaptive driver assistance systems, are critical to human life and safety. Others—such as entertainment systems—not so much. However, they all rely on an exploding volume of software, and in many designs these component systems also share the same internal communication infrastructure. That means that functional safety from a systems perspective as well as at the independent unit level must be assured during the development and testing of this code.
