Modern automotive software has increasingly stringent requirements on safe and secure development. Besides development ECUs in classical domains such as powertrain, chassis, and body electronics, more advanced new systems are being developed such as digital cockpits, infotainment systems, autonomous driving systems, and connectivity units.

Standards such as ISO 26262¹ and ISO/SAE 21434² provide guidance to automotive organizations on a higher level regarding how to consider safety and security. However, more specifically for coding and considering source-code quality, safety, and security, there are specific coding guidelines such as MISRA^3,4 and AUTOSAR coding guidelines.⁵
