Whitepaper: How to Comply With the MISRA Standard

Add bookmark

In the early 1990s, it became obvious that electronics were becoming increasingly important in cars, and that software was becoming increasingly important in electronics.

With this recognition came another understanding – that software reliability was an absolute imperative for both commercial and safety reasons. Today that challenge is even greater as the amount of software within a car can now extend to as much as 100 million lines of code.

The Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA) is a consortium formed from representatives of different companies working in the automotive industry. It was set up initially with some UK government backing, to look at the challenges posed by the increasing use of software in motor vehicles and to provide guidance on how embedded software should be developed. A steady stream of documents has been published addressing various aspects of software engineering.
