WHY THIS VIDEO COURSE IS IMPORTANT

Learn how Coding Guidelines, Rules & Standards help secure automotive software and comply with cybersecurity in vehicle development.

Developing software for vehicles places high demands on quality and security. Therefore, clear coding guidelines, rules and standards are essential to ensure reliable and secure software products.

This course begins by explaining the fundamental differences between coding guidelines, rules and standards and how they provide the basis for consistent code quality in automotive development. We will take a brief look at what a coding standard actually contains.

We'll then look at the MISRA and CERT standards. We'll explain how static code analysis tools such as Parasoft and Klocwork can be used to verify adherence to the standards and improve the efficiency of the development process.

The course covers:

  • Coding guidelines, rules and standards - basics and differences: Understand the difference between coding guidelines, rules and standards and their importance to software quality.


  • Introduction to MISRA and CERT standard: Learn how these standards support software development in the automotive industry and the requirements they place on secure software.


  • Using static analysis tools to meet the standards: Learn how tools such as Parasoft and LDRA are used to ensure code compliance and increase software reliability.


This course will give you a basic understanding of how coding standards specify how software code should be written, which standards and tools are used to do this, and how secure coding can be used to increase the security of automotive development projects.
