According to the ISTQB Certified Tester, Automotive Software Tester (CT-AUT) Study Guide, the requirements and recommendations for test- and verification-specific aspects of the SOFTWARE level can be found in Volume 6 (ISO 26262-6) of ISO 26262. This volume outlines specific requirements for the software lifecycle, verification, and validation activities. Additionally, it contains general requirements for test documentation and test case design.
Question # 5
Which of the following options describes a combination of typical parts of a HiL environment?
A.
Breakout box, Software-Compiler, real parts
B.
Test case simulator, rest bus simulation, power supply
C.
Electric error simulation, signal processing, processor simulation
D.
Power supply, real time capable computer electric error simulation
This combination of components allows for the simulation of signal processing and processor simulation, while still allowing the use of real parts. The use of a breakout box and a software compiler may also be necessary in some cases.
Question # 6
Which statement regarding coding standards Is most true?
A.
Coding standards should increase the maintainability of the source code.
B.
Coding standards should educate the programmer
C.
Coding standards should increase the efficiency of the programmer
D.
Coding standards should increase the efficiency of the source code.
Coding standards are guidelines and rules that are established to ensure that software code is written in a consistent and uniform manner. Following coding standards helps to ensure that the code is easier to read and understand, and makes it easier for multiple developers to work on the same project. This increases the maintainability of the source code, which helps to reduce the cost and time required for bug fixes, updates, and modifications.
