Abstract

This paper proposes an IFD (Information Flow Diagram) and an analysis method using the IFD for finding unexpected obstacles during the specification process of embedded software. Recently, embedded software has become increasingly larger in scale and more complicated, while time available for software development has become shorter. Both these industry trends affect the quality of the software. To improve the quality, it is necessary to find unexpected obstacles early in the specification process. This paper also describes a case study and discusses IFD and the analysis method.
