Agile Model-Based Software Development

 

Training

Model-based software development has become state of the art for automotive embedded applications. Toolchains have been established, and methods and procedures have been defined to address the strong requirements of functional safety standards.


Best practices within general software development, however, propose to overcome strict waterfall process models and promote agile methods in order to address real-world challenges, such as late changes or vague requirements. These real-world scenarios exist in automotive software development, and agile methods will also be beneficial here. This training class introduces the basic principles of agile methods and elaborates on their instantiation in model-based development. The class assists participants in gaining first-hand experience in agile methods, and participants will apply some of these methods in live sessions.
