opment Language (ESDL) and a high degree of automation. ESDL makes it easier to express what the model does and prevents typical pro- gramming errors by design: safer syntax to avoid typing errors, simplified use of value ranges and use of physical units. Automatic on- the-fly model checking gives the developer im- mediate feedback on problems, allowing them to be corrected quickly (Figure 2). Automatic code generation prevents runtime problems such as division by zero, underflow and overflow, and exceeded array bounds (index checking). Thanks to the systematic checks, ASCET-DEVELOPER prevents expens- ive errors. The models can be used for open- and closed-loop simulations and for prototyp- ing. In the end, developers have automatically generated, securely checked C code for further process steps. Summary: increased safety and productivity Customers migrating from the previous ASCET version to ASCET-DEVELOPER report that they have doubled their productivity thanks to automation accelerating the modelling work- flow. Moreover, Eclipse compatibility brings a smooth, frictionless workflow, and compliance with the leading safety standards gives soft- ware engineers the reassurance that devel- opment can be both fast and safe. 131 ETAS GmbH www.etas.com Website Figure 1: The Eclipse-based integrated development environment of ASCET-DEVELOPER enables users to work efficiently.
