Accelerating Innovation in Automotive Engineering - Part One: The Challenge of Software Quality

Quality – Achieve high quality while controlling costs
Complexity – Manage and control the inherent complexity of software development
Collaboration – Collaborate globally, across organizations and engineering disciplines

These challenges are all interrelated; successfully managing quality, complexity and collaboration will help ensure the organization achieves and sustains innovation, while failure in one or more of these areas can negatively impact the entire development lifecycle.

This whitepaper is the first in a series of three that will address these challenges. The paper will examine the challenge of achieving high quality while controlling costs. Topics covered will include: review of the limitations inherent in traditional methods, current best practices, and successful solution strategies that have been proven at leading global organizations in the automotive industry.
