A Source Code Review Technique for Embedded Software

摘要

This article introduces the SRP method, which can improve source code quality for embedded software. SRP is a method for reviewing source code efficiently, and use of SRP in the review process can resolve the problems posed by the increasing size of source code. In SRP, referring to the quality characteristics in ISO/IEG 9126, four characteristics are adopted as evaluation viewpoints for source code fragments: reliability, efficiency, maintainability, and portability. By taking the system feature or profiles into consideration and using these four viewpoints, fragments in the target software are characterized. Then, review rules are selected based on a consideration of the required quality
