Robust Embedded Software Begins With High-Quality Requirements

In an effort to improve the quality of software and take advantage of Lessons Learned, Ford Motor Company has created a generic list of software requirements to help prevent software design errors, mistakes and faults from being delivered to our customer in our vehicles. Ford's intent of publishing these requirements is to provide a basis for an SAE Recommended Practice. Ford's goal is to encourage the software community to participate in the development of a recommended practice that can benefit all software developers. These particular requirements were developed for Automotive Body Features.
