Titel
Transferring selected software engineering principles to the commercial vehicle domain
Abstract
Quality criteria such as high reliability or proper diagnosability play an increasing role during the entire lifecycle of automotive and commercial vehicles. Therefore, setting up and adjusting appropriate defect detection and prevention mechanisms is a key element to assure such quality attributes. One challenge is to systematically select, combine, and balance defect detection and prevention mechanisms in order to guarantee a certain quality level under various constraints such as cost limitations. This article presents an approach for transferring selected software engineering principles to the commercial vehicle domain in the context of a continuous quality improvement paradigm. Additionally, the article gives recommendations on how to apply these software engineering principles in practice. Finally, lessons learned about the application of the software engineering principles in the commercial vehicle domain and related work are sketched.
