Abstract

Because of the volume of software created in the automotive sector, improving software quality has become a need, particularly in areas where safety is crucial, such as autonomous driving. So, continuous software inspection is critical, timely, and essential for ensuring software quality and avoiding worst-case situations in the automotive sector, particularly with autonomous driving. Nonetheless, our idea is inspired by the large number of failures associated with poor software quality. As a result, the primary goal of this research is to provide a solution for continuous software quality inspection in the context of the company Bosch Car Multimedia. A tool named CIAnalyzer Tool was created for this purpose and an architecture was built and deployed in which CIAnalyzer operates as the middleware between SonarQube and Jenkins, delivering an analysis of the software every time someone adds software to the repository. The software is analyzed and, if found to be suitable, is sent to the repository. After implementing this approach, there was a 77.7% reduction in bugs, a 64.6% reduction in code smells, and a 100% reduction in vulnerabilities.

汽车项目中的软件质量：持续检查

由于汽车行业创建的软件数量庞大，提高软件质量已成为一种需要，尤其是在自动驾驶等对安全至关重要的领域。因此，在汽车行业，尤其是自动驾驶领域，持续的软件检测对于确保软件质量和避免最坏情况的发生至关重要。尽管如此，我们的想法还是受到了与软件质量差相关的大量故障的启发。因此，本研究的主要目标是为博世汽车多媒体公司的持续软件质量检测提供解决方案。为此，我们创建了一个名为 CIAnalyzer Tool 的工具，并构建和部署了一个架构，其中 CIAnalyzer 作为 SonarQube 和 Jenkins 之间的中间件运行，每次有人将软件添加到资源库时，它都会对软件进行分析。软件经过分析后，如果认为合适，就会被发送到资源库。采用这种方法后，错误减少了 77.7%，代码气味减少了 64.6%，漏洞减少了 100%。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Automotive Technology has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research in all fields of AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY, SCIENCE and ENGINEERING. It fosters thus the exchange of ideas among researchers in different parts of the world and also among researchers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and applications of the field. Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Physics, Chemistry, Mechanics, Engineering Design and Materials Sciences, AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY is experiencing considerable growth as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, by providing an international medium of communication, is encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects of the field from thermal engineering, flow analysis, structural analysis, modal analysis, control, vehicular electronics, mechatronis, electro-mechanical engineering, optimum design methods, ITS, and recycling. Interest extends from the basic science to technology applications with analytical, experimental and numerical studies. The emphasis is placed on contributions that appear to be of permanent interest to research workers and engineers in the field. If furthering knowledge in the area of principal concern of the Journal, papers of primary interest to the innovative disciplines of AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY, SCIENCE and ENGINEERING may be published. Papers that are merely illustrations of established principles and procedures, even though possibly containing new numerical or experimental data, will generally not be published. When outstanding advances are made in existing areas or when new areas have been developed to a definitive stage, special review articles will be considered by the editors. No length limitations for contributions are set, but only concisely written papers are published. Brief articles are considered on the basis of technical merit.
