Developing safe and reliable automotive software is no longer an option, it is a necessity. And in some geographies a legislative mandate. ISO 26262 standard was conceptualized as a standard for functional safety that ensures the highest level of safety in road vehicles.
With ISO 26262 compliant software development, you can rest assured that your software meets the highest safety standards and is ready to hit the road with confidence.
We offer ISO 26262 compliant software development services that cover every stage of the V cycle, from concept development to system deployment and beyond. Here’s an infographic that clearly showcases the V-cycle of ISO 26262 compliant software development. From tools used and work products derived at every stage, you get the bigger picture of the development process.
Concept Phase
During the concept phase, we work closely with our clients to identify their unique needs and requirements, and to develop a comprehensive concept for their software solution. This involves gathering and analyzing data, defining system requirements, and creating a detailed concept document that outlines the scope of the project and the expected outcomes. From item definition to HARA, we take care of the different safety activities during the concept phase. It sets the tone for the remaining safety lifecycle.
System Requirements and Architecture
Once the concept phase is complete, we move on to the system requirements and architecture phase. During this stage, we define the system requirements in detail and create a software architecture that is optimized for safety and reliability. This involves creating functional and technical specifications, designing system architecture, and creating interface control documents.
Software Design and Implementation
With the system architecture in place, we move on to the software design and implementation phase. This is where we actually create the software code and test it thoroughly to ensure that it meets the functional safety requirements set out in ISO 26262. Our experienced engineers and developers use the latest tools and technologies to create high-quality, reliable software solutions that are tailored to our clients’ specific needs.
Integration and Testing
Once the software has been developed and implemented, we move on to the integration and testing phase. During this stage, we integrate the software with other system components and perform rigorous testing to ensure that it meets the required safety and reliability standards. Our testing processes are comprehensive and thorough, including functional testing, system testing, and regression testing.
Validation and Verification
The validation and verification phase is the final stage of the V cycle, where we perform an overall assessment of the software solution to ensure that it meets the functional safety requirements set out in ISO 26262. This involves conducting a range of validation and verification activities, including system testing, software testing, and software integration testing.
Continuous Improvement
At every stage of the V cycle, we emphasize continuous improvement, using feedback and data to refine and optimize our processes and ensure that we deliver the best possible results for our clients. We are committed to ongoing learning and development, staying up to date with the latest tools and technologies to ensure that we deliver high-quality, reliable software solutions that meet the highest standards of safety and reliability.
