Job description
While most DAF trucks look similar, they can be very different under the hood. For example, some trucks have a diesel engine while others are electric. These different hardware variants of the truck also result in differences in the software.
As there are a lot of possible combinations, in the order of 1000s, we are looking at a way to properly deal with this. The goal of this assignment is to define a strategy for handling variation in the software that meets the use-cases and scenarios at DAF.
This task includes:
- Investigate use-cases and scenarios that can result in variation in software;
- Research existing solutions for handling variation in software, for example in open-source software;
- Create examples for handling variation in each of the use-cases and scenarios.
- Investigate a strategy for handling software variants in automated software tests.
