In this proposal, we describe a component approach to process support for distributed team-based software development, we characterize what is meant by process components and we discuss the opportunities of process components in terms of further development. The component approach to process support [4] reacts to two changes in software development. First, increasingly software systems are deve...

Due to the increasing complexity of embedded systems and software in vehicles, the automotive industry faces an increasing need for testing and verification of components and subsystems under realistic conditions. At the same time, development cycles must be shortened in order for vehicle manufacturers to be competitive on the global market. Consequently, an increased amount of testing and veri...
