More and more, the function of vehicles is determined by the intelligence of electronic controls. Consequently, the extent of software has increased strongly within the last years. The main differentiation between competitors is not longer done by different software based functionality only, but more and more by time-to-market criteria. To meet the enhanced development speed demands in conjunction with the complexity of systems and to improve the reliability at the same time, an efficient development process comes to the fore. Automated development processes and integrated development steps in the sense of concurrent engineering are neccessary. On the part of development tools, there are mainly two interesting approaches: classical Case-Tools, which are already established in some areas of the automotive industry, and tools for automated code generation, which are just at the threshold of being usable in automotive applications.
