Software Code Generator in Automotive Field

Rapid development of new technology has resulted changes in IT world affecting the way we work. Software use has increased in different fields of technology. In automation field, for example, the usage of Electronics Control Unit (ECU) has increased resulting in a different size of software. Due to persistent role of software in technology, the software cost and quality has become an important field. In automation field a number of tools are being developed which help to generate software codes. These tools can be used in software cost reduction because of reuse of software modules. In automatic code generation, the size estimates can hide the true effort of a program. In this paper we discuss the effect of using code generators in automation sector and how these tools have an effect on the cost of the software. We will compare the effort of code written manually and by using a code generator.
