Abstract

This paper analyzes concepts to measure benefits of quality assurance measures applied in the electric / electronics (E/E) development in the automotive domain. Therefore selected models are examined and their suitability in the given context is evaluated. Since typical models in literature do not fulfil the practical requirements, the goal is to develop an extensive cost-benefit model based on organization specific cause-and-effect chains embracing software but also hardware development aspects. In a first example, based on the experiences in a software engineering experiment with 20 students, the applicability of the defined cause-and-effect chains with their according metrics is shown. Further research aims on process simulation to ensure plausibility and case studies for the validation of the presented approach.
