Summary

Model-Based Design lets engineering teams verify requirements and designs early, before implementation and test, using executable specifications, multi¬domain simulations, and virtual testbeds. On a typical embedded software project, a large commercial vehicle manufacturer using Model-Based Design can realize total cost savings of more than 60% compared to traditional development. The vast majority of the savings are due to efficiencies gained in the requirements and testing phases through early verification. As the complexity of embedded systems grows, so do the costs of traditional development. In contrast, as an orga¬nization gains more experience with Model-Based Design, development costs are held in check—or even reduced—through shorter development cycles, increased reuse, and improved quality.
