Summary Efficient testing is a crucial prerequisite to engineer reliable automotive software successfully. However, manually deriving test cases from ambiguous textual requirements is costly and error‐prone. Model‐based software engineering captures requirements in structured, comprehensible, and formal models, which enables early consistency checking and verification. Moreover, these models serve as an indispensable basis for automated test case derivation. To facilitate automated test case derivation for automotive software engineering, we conducted a survey with testing experts of the BMW Group and conceived a method to extend the BMW Group's specification method for requirements, design, and test methodology by model‐based test case derivation. Our method is realized for a variant of systems modeling language activity diagrams tailored toward testing automotive software and a model transformation to derive executable test cases. Hereby, we can address many of the surveyed practitioners' challenges and ultimately facilitate quality assurance for automotive software.

“…However, a number of challenges remain in adapting the processes of large organisations producing safety-critical systems to fulfil both the need for agility and the required rigour for certification. This is a particular problem in the automotive domain since the organisations involved in producing vehicles are very large, distributed over many disciplines and physical locations, and have established practices and tool-chains that are difficult to change [3,7]. This leads us to the following research questions: RQ1: Which common principles and practices can be derived from existing approaches for agile development of safety-critical systems?…”

Automotive companies increasingly adopt scaled agile methods to allow them to deal with their organisational and product complexity. Suitable methods are needed to ensure safety when developing automotive systems. On a small scale, R-Scrum and SafeScrum ® are two concrete suggestions for how to develop safety-critical systems using agile methods. However, for large-scale environments, existing frameworks like SAFe or LeSS do not support the development of safety-critical systems out of the box. We, therefore, aim to understand which challenges exist when developing safety-critical systems within large-scale agile industrial settings, in particular in the automotive domain. Based on an analysis of R-Scrum and SafeScrum ® , we conducted a focus group with three experts from industry to collect challenges in their daily work. We found challenges in the areas of living traceability, continuous compliance, and organisational flexibility. Among others, organisations struggle with defining a suitable traceability strategy, performing incremental safety analysis, and with integrating safety practices into their scaled way of working. Our results indicate a need to provide practical approaches to integrate safety work into large-scale agile development and point towards possible solutions, e.g., modular safety cases.

“…Nowadays, a lot of technological solutions in the field of mechatronics, electronics, new business models, etc, are directly dependent on software, and most of the innovations in other technological fields are based on the direct or indirect usage of software, such as simulation, modelling, and high‐performance computing. The importance of the software issue in the automotive domain is high, discussed, and identified in the work of Ebert and Favaro, Larrucea et al, or Lichtenstein et al However, one question arises and has to be further discussed: Are the software skills, improvements, and issues the most needed or are there also the other skills, improvements, and issues with the same or a higher priority?…”

DRIVES is a 4‐year project created to deliver human capital solutions to the automotive supply chain and small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs). The establishment of an Automotive Sector Skills Alliance covers all levels of the value chain (vehicle production, supply, sales, aftermarket services, and disposal). The automotive sector is facing many disruptive changes in this rapidly changing world. This paper, based on literature review, outlines the drivers of change that impact future developments in the automotive industry. This serves as an input to a questionnaire, which will provide a prioritisation and guidance to which direction the DRIVES project proposed and European Union (EU) skills agenda should concentrate.
