Project Background

We partnered with the vehicle control platform software team of a domestic smart vehicle manufacturer to collaboratively address a key challenge: their AutoSAR-compliant platform architecture, while standardized, struggled to respond quickly to changes required for supporting a growing number of vehicle models and hardware platforms. Through targeted architectural and engineering optimizations, the project was able to reduce the development workload associated with introducing new requirements, thereby enhancing both delivery efficiency and quality.

Consulting Process

We collaborated closely with the client's Systems Engineers (SEs) and software architects to conduct a thorough domain analysis and modeling of the platform's business logic, decoupling the software from the underlying hardware platform and the various vehicle models it supports, culminating in the design of a new component-based, service-oriented architecture. To manage the primary variations across vehicle models and hardware, we developed a dedicated configuration model, extracting an independent configuration architecture and establishing a formal configuration engineering process for its management. Identifying critical services and applications that had the most significant impact on the overall architecture, we led the client's development team to execute an evolutionary architectural migration and code refactoring process based on the new design. This project concluded with the successful validation of the new architecture's feasibility and performance.

Collaborative Achievements

The new software architecture and configuration model for the vehicle control platform successfully established a stable core domain model. It effectively decouples the software from specific vehicle models and the underlying hardware platform, while also guaranteeing that performance constraints for critical business operations are met. As a result, both development efficiency and quality have been significantly enhanced.

Project Background

We partnered with a major IT platform company to address critical challenges within their core platform. These issues included architecture decay, slow development cycles, an insufficient capability to apply specific design paradigms, as well as weak architectural governance and quality assurance systems. Through a combination of systematic architecture refactoring and targeted technical enablement, we optimized their software design and development processes. The engagement was designed to enhance the product's technical competitiveness and simultaneously elevate the professional capabilities of their in-house team.

Consulting Process

We were deeply engaged in a key architecture refactoring project for the client's core software platform, providing the development team with professional guidance on programming languages and support for domain modeling. This hands-on collaboration helped team members rapidly master refactoring techniques and optimize the implementation logic of code components. We also delivered tiered technical training programs targeted at system architects and core developers, with content covering architectural design theory, the application of design patterns, and practical refactoring skills. Through an in-depth analysis and modeling of the system's core modules, we delivered an optimized architecture design plan that enables the standardization and sustainable evolution of their multi-product architecture.

Collaborative Achievements

The project delivered a complete overhaul of the core product architecture, boosting development efficiency by over 30% and dramatically improving system scalability and stability. We also refactored the security architecture and built a new white-box testing system, ensuring the code meets top industry standards for trustworthiness. This multi-dimensional engagement empowered the client to make a transformational leap in innovation and quality, creating a critical foundation for their future competitive edge and business growth.
