Automotive Software Testing is a vital part of the automotive systems development process. Not identifying the critical safety issues and failures of such systems can have serious or even fatal consequences. As the number of embedded systems and technologies increases, testing all components becomes more challenging. Although testing is expensive, it is important to reduce bugs in an early stage to maintain safety and to avoid recalls. Hence, the testing time should be reduced without impacting the reliability. Several studies and surveys have prioritized Automotive Software Testing to increase its effectiveness. The main goals of this study are to identify: (i) the publication trends of prioritization in Automotive Software Testing, (ii) which methods are used to prioritize Automotive Software Testing, (iii) the distribution of studies based on the quality evaluation, and (iv) how existing research on prioritization helps optimize Automotive Software Testing.

Security patterns encapsulate security-related problems and solutions that recur in certain contexts for secure software system development and operations. Almost 500 security patterns have been proposed since the late 1990s. Technical investigations on their applications have advanced implementation, but the direction, overall picture, and significant technical challenges remain unclear. In this study, we propose a taxonomy for security pattern research by conducting a systematic literature review. The taxonomy is expected to guide practitioners to choose existing security pattern methods and tools. In addition, the taxonomy should support communication among practitioners and researchers, and improve security pattern research and the effectiveness of security patterns. Over 200 papers are categorized based on the taxonomy. The survey result should further improve security pattern research and the effectiveness of security patterns.

Hua Cai, Hironori Washizaki, Yoshiaki Fukazawa, Takao Okubo, Haruhiko Kaiya, Nobukazu Yoshioka, “Restructuring Attack Trees to Identify Incorrect or Missing Relationships between Nodes,” The International Workshop on Evidence-based Security and Privacy in the Wild 2018 (WESPr-18), December 4, 2018 in conjunction with APEC 2018 in Nara, Japan

Attack trees are often used to analyze a system or detect application programs vulnerable to attack. To aid in software design, a method to create safe and stable systems should be created. An attack tree has multiple levels and is composed of different nodes, including root nodes, sub nodes, and leaf nodes. These nodes can be separated into parent nodes and child nodes when discussing their relationship. Child nodes are defined as conditions that must be satisfied to make their direct parent nodes true. Although an attack tree can express vertical relationships between nodes well, it usually ignores parallel relationships of different branch nodes. Moreover, the relationship between parent-child nodes may be inaccurate due to a poorly designed attack tree. To solve these problems, we present a new way to derive an attack tree system in which the initial attack tree is reconstructed into a new attack tree using Interpretive Structural Modeling (abbr. ISM). The proposed method can easily repair the relationship between parent nodes and child nodes by removing parallel relationships. Finally, the proposed method derives a clear attack tree for more precise system’s threat analysis and better defensive measures.
