Avoiding Malfunctions Due To Software Failures by Automation of Software Production and Testing Pannen wegen Software-Fehlern vermeiden durch Automatisierung von Software-Produktion und Test

A number of reports about malfunctions of hight-tech components in vehicles appeared recently. To a major part, such malfunctions are related to software. As the amount of software will steadily increase during the next years, software will dramaticially impact the quality of service in future. The competence to produce robust and dependable software will be essential to keep a leading role on the market. Experience from the production of mechanical or electronic goods shows that only by automation productivity and quality can be sufficiently improved. So far software is developed in a handcrafted manner, the needed effort is high and the quality is poor. By the technology "Automated Software Production and Test" (ASaP) the productivity and quality is significantly increased as recent benchmarks do show. This technology introduces a repeatable production process which can continuously be maintained. _______________________________________________________________________________________________
