TRW Automotive Selects VectorCAST Embedded Software Testing Solutions for ISO 26262 Compliance

Providence, RI (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

Vector Software, the leading provider of dynamic software testing solutions for safety-critical embedded systems, announced today that TRW Automotive has selected VectorCAST for automated unit, integration, and regression testing on its Electric Park Brake (EPB) system.

 

A world leader in automotive electronic braking systems, TRW Automotive (TRW) was first-to-market with its Electric Park Brake (EPB) on a mass production vehicle in 2001. Today, there are more than 15 million TRW EPB calipers on the worlds roadways.

 

“The TRW EPB is a state of the art park brake system with a huge amount of comfort- and safety-functions. Its technology goes well beyond the simple functionality of holding a vehicle in a parked position. We are able to provide this as a stand-alone solution or integrated, for example in an Electronic Stability Control System, stated Gundolf Schmidt, Chief Engineer EPB Software System Development, Germany.

 

TRW engineers use VectorCAST/C++, VectorCAST/Manage, and VectorCAST/Cover to detect defects early in the development cycle and assure the highest level of software quality. The VectorCAST solution provides TRWs development team with the necessary tools and process support for compliance with ISO 26262.

 

Competition in the automotive industry is becoming more and more challenging. Successful companies must constantly innovate and are continually introducing new features with greater complexity in embedded vehicle systems, such as electronic braking systems, stated William McCaffrey, Chief Operating Officer at Vector Software. Companies implementing the new ISO 26262 standard for functional safety in road vehicles will have a major advantage in the industry.
