Wind River is a leading provider of software for intelligent edge devices, with its technology integral to one of the world's most secure products. Its software enhances mission-critical systems requiring advanced compute and AI capabilities, maintaining top-notch security, safety, and reliability. Wind River emphasizes software quality in its engineering, facing challenges from increasing complexity and scale. The quality of documented software requirements is crucial, especially in critical systems like Wind River Linux, an embedded development platform. Despite rigorous software testing practices, there's often a disconnect between software requirements and testing. Dr. Weiyi Shang and Wind River aim to bridge this gap, improving software testing and requirement processes to enhance overall software quality. In particular, Dr. Shang and Wind River will collaborate towards research objectives that aim to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of testing using the requirement knowledge. In addition, research objectives also include improving software requirement suing information from testing. This project will not only benefit Wind River but could also influence quality assurance across the software engineering industry.
