bachelor Internship: Dynamic System Exploration

Create smart tools to visualize and simplify complex software systems for better architecture and debugging.

Functiebeschrijving

At DAF we are creating a complex software system. In efforts to reduce this complexity within our software, we are trying to bundle parts in a smart way. However, our legacy code can still be all over the place, making it hard to understand how different parts of our software interface with each other.

To help us improve our software quality and system performance, we want to create a smart, dynamic, and easy to understand tool to show the relationship between parts of our software. We want to use this tool to help with architectural choices, debugging, and testing.

This task includes:

• Understanding how our software works
• Learning how to pull relevant information from our Simulink models
• Creating a way of viewing relations in a dynamic manner (using all kinds of filters)
• Talking to stakeholders for this tool to find out what the requirements are
• Properly testing the tool using automated testing

Possible extensions:

• Automate the updating of the data model after a software build
