Building Automation into Daily Engineering Workflows

Expleo lever­ages TASKING VX-toolset for Tri­Core to estab­lish an auto­mat­ed CI/CT-sup­port­ed build envi­ron­ment.

What is it about

Help­ing a glob­al engi­neer­ing ser­vices provider set up a fully auto­mat­ed develop­ment and build chain - inte­grat­ed into an exist­ing Git-based work­flow - so teams can run more builds in less time, detect issues ear­li­er, and free engi­neers from repet­i­tive man­u­al build activ­i­ties.

Engineering Excellence at Scale: Meet the Customer

Expleo is a ser­vice provider with a strong focus on engi­neer­ing excel­lence. The com­pa­ny deliv­ers base soft­ware develop­ment, sys­tem develop­ment, and end‑to‑end qual­i­ty assur­ance across a wide range of indus­tries world­wide. Their core areas of exper­tise include

  • Embed­ded soft­ware develop­ment
  • Info­tain­ment
  • High per­for­mance soft­ware & sys­tems
  • Expleo sup­ports clients in dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion with deep exper­tise in com­plex sys­tems, AI-enabled solu­tions, and reli­able engi­neer­ing ser­vices.

From Project Requirement to Automation Challenge

In a cus­tomer project, the use of TASKING was defined as a pre­req­ui­site. Expleo’s pri­ma­ry objec­tive - and key chal­lenge - was clear:

  • Estab­lish an auto­mat­ed develop­ment and build envi­ron­ment
  • Sup­port­ed by a CI/CT pipeline
  • And make it work reli­ably with­in their exist­ing setup

The Right Toolset for the Build Environment

To sup­port the project require­ments, TASKING pro­vid­ed the VX-toolset for Tri­Core com­pil­er and sup­port­ed Expleo with its seam­less inte­gra­tion into Expleo’s build serv­er envi­ron­ment. This ensured the toolset could be incor­po­rat­ed into the tar­get­ed auto­mat­ed build approach, rather than remain­ing a stand­alone tool­chain.

Results & Benefits

Expleo suc­cess­ful­ly estab­lished a fully auto­mat­ed build chain and inte­grat­ed it into an exist­ing Git-based work­flow:

  • High­er effi­cien­cy: more builds can be exe­cut­ed in less time
  • Ear­li­er fault detec­tion: high­er build fre­quen­cy enables issues to sur­face soon­er
  • Less man­u­al over­head: the build process now runs auto­mat­i­cal­ly
  • More engi­neer­ing focus: engi­neers can spend time on high­er-value work while the sys­tem han­dles com­pi­la­tion and ver­i­fi­ca­tion in the back­ground

“What may sound triv­ial at first makes a remark­able dif­fer­ence in our daily work­load through increased effi­cien­cy. Dur­ing onboard­ing and the exchanges prior to project start, we felt very well sup­port­ed. TASKING addressed our needs with great care and a high­ly cus­tomer friend­ly approach.”

-— Gideon Johannes Neu­mann, Pro­fes­sion­al Soft­ware Engi­neer, Model & Soft­ware Qual­i­ty, Expleo

Innovation Doesn’t Stop Here

Expleo and TASKING are cur­rent­ly explor­ing fur­ther col­lab­o­ra­tion oppor­tu­ni­ties - par­tic­u­lar­ly around estab­lish­ing a cohe­sive and inte­grat­ed build envi­ron­ment cov­er­ing the full chain of: Build - Debug & Trace - Test
