The Status Quo of Test Strategies and Homologation Developments

Due to the high complexity of the driving task in a so-called open world, requirement- and specification-driven approaches tend to have limits. Up until now, the set of methods in requirement-based engineering were not able to keep up with this increasing complexity. To address this issue, the term “safety of the intended function” (SOTIF) has been created. In order to recover the reduced capabilities of the left side of the V-model, the activities in the verification and validation branch need to relate to each other in order to provide a solid foundation for the safety argumentation.
