Automotive Systems: accelerate product delivery and standards compliance
The automotive sector is one of the fastest evolving industries in the world. Innovation, competition, standards compliance… automotive manufacturers and suppliers are facing a lot of challenges.
With Tuleap, make sure that your product meets performance requirements while also adhering to automotive safety, quality and security standards.
Main Challenges in the Automotive Industry
For a few years now, Original Equipement Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier suppliers of the Automotive industry have been adapting to stricter and ever-evolving norms to be compliant in order to design, verify, and document safety-critical automotive systems. It is a must. Failing to adhere to ISO 26262 and ASPICE involves several risks and potential defects, especially when developing a complex software product.
Benefit from the Agile methodology
The use of Agile methods has become a top-of-list priority when developing automotive software: Agile processes are increasingly popular key ways of achieving the flexibility and on-demand scalability required to succeed in the automotive industry. It becomes easier for Automobile manufacturers to quickly adjust to changes, hence leveraging new opportunities and new technologies as they emerge.
Accelerate Functional Safety compliance
- Automotive SPICE ( ASPICE – Automotive Software Performance Improvement and Capability dEtermination) evaluates development factors to identify an organization’s potential to develop software in an effective and reliable manner in automotive development.
- The ISO 26262 standard provides a reference framework model focusing on the functional safety development process that automotive manufacturers and suppliers must follow in order to qualify their device use in commercial vehicles.
