As intelligence, safety, and connectivity continue to advance, the complexity of embedded software is also increasing. In response to environmental and energy challenges, ALTEN China, in line with the Group’s commitment to sustainable innovation, is dedicated to exploring how emerging technologies—such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robot Operating System (ROS), Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, 5G communication, and cybersecurity—can be integrated with the principles of eco-design. The goal is to help clients build intelligent system solutions that are efficient, low-carbon, and sustainable.

The development of embedded software involves several stages: the generation of a specification based on a functional requirement, followed by coding and implementation, in a context of very tight real-time constraints. Thanks to our expertise, we apply new methodologies to the development of embedded software. We also promote agility to increase flexibility and improve product development times.

In all our activities, we are constantly seeking to improve our testing strategy, to allow us to test the solution ever more quickly. To achieve this, we favor certain areas of expertise, such as Test-Driven Development (TDD): modelling enables us to identify use cases and test the product at a very early stage. As part of our drive to reduce lead times, we are also promoting automation.

Thanks to our multi-sector position, we have an overview of the different norms and an excellent knowledge of standards, along with coding rules or best practices. We can advise you on the best development processes and on the architecture of the software itself.
