    Software Traceability in the Automotive Domain: Challenges and Solutions
    (Software Engineering and Software Management 2019, 2019) Steghöfer, Jan-Philipp; Maro, Salome; Staron, Miroslaw
    In the automotive domain, the development of all safety-critical systems has to comply with safety standards such as ISO 26262. These standards require established traceability, the ability to relate artifacts created during development of a system, to ensure resulting systems are well-tested and therefore safe. Our study [MSS18] contrasts general traceability challenges and solutions with those specific to the automotive domain, and investigates how they manifest in practice. We combine a tertiary literature review to identify general challenges and solutions, a case study with an automotive supplier as validation for how challenges and solutions are experienced in practice, and a multi-vocal literature review to identify challenges and solutions specific to the automotive domain. We found 22 challenges and 16 unique solutions in the reviews. 17 challenges were identified in the case study; six remain unsolved. We discuss challenges and solutions from the perspectives of academia, tool vendors, consultants and users, and identify differences between scientific and “grey” literature. We discuss why challenges remain unsolved and propose solutions. Our findings indicate that there is a significant overlap between general traceability challenges and those in the automotive domain but that they are experienced differently.

    Tackling combinatorial explosion: a study of industrial needs and practices for analyzing highly configurable systems
    (Software Engineering and Software Management 2019, 2019) Mukelabai, Mukelabai; Nešić, Damir; Maro, Salome; Berger, Thorsten; Steghöfer, Jan-Philipp
    Hundreds of dedicated analysis techniques for highly configurable systems have been conceived, many of them able to analyze properties for all possible system configurations. Unfortunately, it is largely unknown whether these techniques are adopted in practice, whether they address actual needs, or which strategies practitioners apply. We present a study [MNM+18] of analysis practices and needs in industry based on surveys and interviews. We confirm that properties considered in the literature (e.g., reliability) are relevant and that consistency between variability models and artifacts is critical, but that the majority of analyses for specifications of configuration options (a.k.a., variability model analysis) is not perceived as needed. We identified pragmatic analysis strategies, including practices to avoid the need for analysis. We discuss analyses that are missing and synthesize our insights into suggestions for future research.
