European manufacturers should have years of competitive advantage in embedded software development, thanks to outputs from the EUREKA ITEA software Cluster AGILE project.
So says Dr Pekka Abrahamsson of project coordinator VTT Technical Research Centre in Finland. He points to 68 pilot case studies, in industries ranging from avionics and telecoms to consumer electronics, all of which demonstrated the power of the ‘agile’ methodology for software engineering.
Software tools that simplify application of the agile approach have also been successfully demonstrated, and the results are much faster and cheaper development of quality systems.
“Agile is a new paradigm for software development that emerged around eight years ago in the USA,” explains Abrahamsson. “When we started the ITEA project in 2004, we did not know whether this new methodology could be exploited for embedded software in [manufacturing].”
