Place of action
Electronic Defence Systems, a business area of Saab, is one of the world’s premier suppliers of solutions for surveillance, avionics and systems to detect, locate and protect against threat. Saab in Jönköping has a wide range of products, mainly for Aerospace applications, including e.g. utility and mission computers, control computers, hydraulic actuators, electric motors and motor controllers. Most of our equipment is safety critical and must be certified according to civilian standards. These standards put demands on the design and verification processes. We are required to generating proof that all requirements have been taken care of in the sense of validation and verification. When doing that we are using different tools. We want to investigate and evaluate alternative tools for code coverage.

Your future challenge
The bachelor’s thesis will be carried out in several steps. The student will begin with a study of how we work with code coverage today and make a survey of present tools on the market today. The tool shall be possible to be used in a simulated environment as well on a target environment and be used for various kinds of source programs including C and assembler. The second step will be to assess the selected tool or tools and compare it, or them, with our present tool.

The bachelor’s thesis position is at Saab’s facilities in Jönköping. The position is suitable for one student. The work can be initiated between January to the beginning of June. Oral and written reporting will be required.
