The development of embedded systems has become a key issue for automotive OEMs and tier one suppliers, as the functionality of electronic systems in vehicles has increased. Overcoming the current complexity of software components is a challenge being faced throughout the industry. Earlier this year, Deodatta Joshi, Head – Embedded Systems Practice, Engineering & Design, at TATA Technologies made a presentation on the topic of "What Does Safety Really Mean To Automotive Embedded Software Development" The presentation goes into detail about the following key issues: • Drivers for integration of safety processes in CMMI / Automotive SPICE • Integrated development across collaborative teams • Adoptability of standards at different software development stages • Mapping ISO 26262 into CMMI process areas • Safety software development life cycle • Sharing of best practices: Random hardware failures / Analysis of cyclomatic complexity • Understanding safety standards in CMMI & SPICE processes Download the presentation here: http://bit.ly/ppTATA

OEM Challenges
 Lack of Matured Process Framework / Usually own department wise
established processes
 Legacy of development tools
 Collaborations with Multiple suppliers (Tier I, Tier II)
 Proofs of safety compliances
 Suppliers of existing Safety critical components have certain degree
of safety standard implementation They need to improve on field
observations & abilities to provide complete safety case
 Suppliers of new innovative components needs to built up basic
process capabilities as a reliable foundation of safety
 Continuous Improvement of Internal Process capabilities
