How to Automate Dependency Management: Part 2
If you’ve ever had to deal with manually migrating dependencies to the latest version, you know how difficult and time-consuming it can be to upgrade and validate your model. Thankfully, by leveraging powerful modern dev-ops practices, don’t have to! By utilizing the power of automation and other powerful dev-ops best practices, you can let your […]
How to Automate Dependency Management: Part 1
Very few people develop their software from scratch. Why would they, after all, when so many others have already done the work for almost any algorithm you could think of? Rather than re-invent the wheel, it’s more efficient (and more fun) to work on the novel tasks in front of you and let someone else […]

What You Should Know About Fixed-Point Code
3 Reasons to Consider Using a Floating-Point Model to Generate Fixed-Point Code
3 Reasons to Consider Using a Floating-Point Model to Generate Fixed-Point Code
Despite the availability of fast processors with dedicated floating-point support, we still see many projects generating fixed-point code. The reason for this is not only the resource usage, but also the more transparent and predictable mathematical behavior. You can read more about this in our previous articles “What you should know about fixed-point” and “What […]
What You Should Know About Fixed-Point
Vocabulary: Floating-point? – Fixed-point? – Scaling? – Resolution? – LSB? Basically, we can distinguish between two kinds of datatypes in embedded code: Floating-point and Integer. An integer variable basically represents whole numbers and the value range is limited by the number of bits. For example, an (unsigned) 8bit Integer can represent 2^8=256 different values, by default ranging from […]
When and how to generate test cases automatically
The automatic generation of test cases has always been a controversial topic. While some people dream about stopping any manual test activities others say that test generation is not allowed. But who is right? Test Goals for test case generation Let’s have a quick look at the possible test goals for which we can generate […]
Modular Model-based Software Architecture for Efficient Unit and Integration Test
The use of model-based design to develop embedded software is well established in automotive projects but with the growing size and complexity of software, handling big sized model is often a challenge. Model-based design enables to easily craft a software application and from one step to another refine it, test it and generate the production […]
4 Ways to Detect Undesired Changes During a Tool Version Migration
4) Software Requirements in ISO 26262 chapter 6 Software requirements are the result of a transformation process of the TSRs allocated to software parts and the HSIs into a set of requirements used to develop the software functions. In parallel, hardware requirements are also derived to develop the hardware elements. Software requirements describe the static […]
