As part of ISO 26262, requirements to establish confidence in the correct functioning of software tools used to develop safety-related automotive E/E systems came into effect. Years later, there is a wealth of experience and lessons learned from applying these requirements in day-to-day engineering.
However, implementing ISO 26262 tool classification and qualification remains a challenge for many automotive organizations and remains resource intensive. Starting with a systematic introduction to the tool classification and qualification requirements of ISO 26262-8, this one-day training class also provides current industry best practices and discusses trends and lessons learned. In the hands-on session, you will familiarize yourself with the structure and content of an exemplary ISO 26262 classification kit for a model-based development tool and gain hands-on experience in customizing a kit to your organization’s specific needs.
Target Audience
This course is targeted at automotive professionals (functional safety engineers, software project leads, software engineers, engineering managers, and quality managers) involved with the development of safety-related automotive E/E systems.
