Abstract

Embedded system development workflow is complex, often poorly modelled, and thus difficult to optimize. We propose a new process mining tool PROMOTE as the first step of the flow improvement. The tool includes an event log analyzer and web user interface. PROMOTE has been tested in four real industrial projects, and in an open source SW project. We exposed several bottlenecks otherwise undiscovered, which proved the need and feasibility of PROMOTE. It will be deployed in production in a big embedded system company in 2017.
