I_Competence Tip: Design the project and file structure to be consistent across all teams.

Consistency for file and project structures can improve the possibilities to compare different application or deployment models, use the same build system for different applications or teams, or quickly reassign a team member. Naming patterns, clear guidelines on file splitting, and a common project and directory structure can help achieve these benefits.

It might also be desirable to consider the customization level of other tools in the used tool chain in regard to these aspects in case the structure is preferred to be common within the whole workflow.

notice

DaVinci Developer Adaptive allows you to freely select file names and local paths when AUTOSAR Elements are created. Additionally, projects, files, and model elements can be restructured within the DaVinci Project Explorer. As already mentioned in section Separation of Responsibility, model elements can also be split into new files.
