Verification and Validation Strategies

Testing state-of-the-art hardware and software requires modern test methods. dSPACE Consulting has decades of experience in efficiently implementing these methods, and it has built up a network of partners who cover a wide range of tasks, from test automation to homologation.

The dSPACE Consulting services include:

The dSPACE Consulting services include:

  • Optimizing advanced test systems, from the software level to the vehicle level.
  • Significant cost savings by detailed analysis of strategic measures such as test frontloading and test automation.
  • Achieving the highest quality standards with an optimized tool chain.
  • Access to a wide network of partners for completing large test automation projects, including extensive test case development.

Safety & Security

Future mobility trends call for comprehensive, reliable safety concepts. Safety and security therefore have to be at the center of development from the very beginning.

Safety: ISO 26262 & SOTIF

Safety: ISO 26262 & SOTIF

  • Implementation and optimization of processes that demonstrably comply with ISO 26262 and SOTIF for all phases of development.
  • Definition and qualification of test environments for HIL and mechatronic test benches.
  • Classification and qualification of systems and software tools.
  • Design of an ISO 26262-compliant model-based development (MBD) process for the highest ISO levels.
  • Definition of test strategies for scenario- and requirements-based designs with professional risk analysis.

Cybersecurity:

Cybersecurity:

  • Ensuring compliance with ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE WP.29 by continuous security management for system vulnerabilities and risks.
  • SIL/HIL test strategies and validation for virtual and real ECUs, validation of onboard communication between ECUs.
  • Validation of the communication with the vehicle environment and interfaces such as WIFI, LTE/5G, and GPS.
  • Over-the-air (OTA) update strategy for the support of continuous homologation processes.

E/E Development

To lead complex system development projects, you need vast experience in the relevant processes and detailed technical know-how.
