Control Techniques has adopted Artisan Studio, the UML and SysML compliant real-time systems and software modelling tool suite from Artisan Software Tools.
It was clear to Siemens VDO that successful software development for its automotive powertrain control units would require a seamless process that encompasses both modelling and design, creating a need for a standardised modelling language supported by a flexible tool-based environment.
The choice of UML meant the adoption of an increasingly widespread standard that had the backing of a large community of developers, all of whom talked the same modelling language.
The choice of Artisan Studio provided the necessary, highly flexible tool-based environment for the development of the basic I/O software for its automotive powertrain control units that could be tailored to the needs of the developers.
This allowed Siemens VDO to adapt the way it generated code and documentation from the model and take full advantage of the Artisan Studio environment.
Furthermore, Artisan Studio's true multi-user repository that facilitates collaborative development was perfectly suited to Siemens VDO's distributed development practices allowing it to be integrated into the company's existing software development processes with ease.
Commenting on Siemens VDO's decision, Jeremy Goulding, President and CEO of Artisan offered: "Once companies come to the conclusion to standardise on UML as their systems and software modelling language, selecting Artisan Studio as the tools-based environment to implement it is an increasingly natural choice".
"It ticks all the right boxes for potential customers - delivering a true multi-user repository to facilitate collaborative development, decreased development time through design reuse and the handling of multiple languages within one model, and increased developer productivity through an intuitive tool that either integrates with existing development processes out of the box or that can be readily customised to do so".
