Model-Based Development (MBD) has become increasingly important in the development of embedded software for commercial vehicles. For MBD to be most effective, modeling must be a unified part of the system and software lifecycle. System and software lifecycle management processes and tools that encompass all phases of the product, from concept to end-of-life, are essential to meet today's business innovation and quality demands. In a typical MBD environment, changes to requirements, test cases, configurations, calibrations or the actual models aren't automatically and interactively linked to one another. Significant manual effort goes into tracking changes that affect engineering artifacts. The downstream effect of one seemingly small change has the potential to affect thousands of artifacts across a product's lifecycle, including model elements.
