Automatic code generation is an established technology in automotive and aerospace industries that is also adopted in commercial vehicle embedded software development. Code generation brings the productivity gains of model-based algorithm design to the next stage of the process – production software development. The technology has matured to the point where it satisfies most technical and usability requirements and the success of code generation depends on judicious deployment, efficient work practices and acceptance by all users involved. It has been demonstrated that model-based software development and code generation in particular can shorten development cycles while staying true to the requirements and maintaining software quality through multiple algorithm iterations. These gains, though, only come as a result of careful combination of tools and methods. This paper discusses solutions to common organizational and technical challenges of model-based software development.
