The major driving factors for adoption of model-based software engineering (MBSE) practices are increasing complexity, time-to-market pressures, and certification requirements. Adoption of MBSE technology can add tremendous value to an automotive software development organization, however to realize maximum efficiency it is critically important to scale and customize these practices appropriately. This paper offers a practical, tool vendor-independent framework for application of MBSE technology to automotive embedded software development, based on tendencies and outcomes observed while working with automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers of various sizes. The core of the presented approach is to first define the MBSE technology strategy and then to operationalize the strategy. There are three main elements that constitute the MBSE technology strategy of a software development organization.
