Risks Identification in Embedded Software Development: Evidence from MVBC Project Survey

The risks occurred in development process pose great danger to the quality of embedded software. This paper concentrates on the risk profile of MVBC project. Questionnaires were collected from three different embedded software institutions, MVBC, Aerospace and Encryption. The analysis, including top 10 risks, frequency, impact strength, perceptions, distributions among life cycle were conducted. Some distinct difference between MVBC and other embedded projects were revealed and the final conclusions would be helpful for future risk management of MVBC development.
