Improving continuous development efficiency along the full project lifecycle – the CODE4EV framework for Software Defined Vehicles
The Software-Defined Vehicle paradigm is disrupting the automotive domain by introducing DevOps processes in aproduct-oriented industry. In this context, the European project CODE4EV targets to accelerate electric vehicle development by establishing a collaborative development framework addressing the entire lifecycle and aiming at improving efficiency, safety, and scalability across vehicle categories. A distinctive feature is its support for distributed testing in an agent based setup to lever geographically dispersed partners and lab infrastructures. Target of this paper is to introduce the framework along the three automotive industrial use cases, and deployed for passenger cars, two-wheelers and heavy-duty trucks.
