SYNECT is a data management and collaboration tool with a focus on the efficient and automated verification and validation of ECU (electronic control unit) software.
The central management of the Euro NCAP test protocols and the provided tests in SYNECT Test Management allows for a seamless testing process.
With SYNECT Test Management, dSPACE provides a solution for implementing an efficient requirements-based testing process that both bridges the gap to the requirements world and establishes a connection to the various test tools and test environments.
At the 8th dSPACE User Conference (November 15-16, 2016) in Munich, CLAAS Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbH presented the company’s test process and talked about the introduction of SYNECT® as a central test management tool.

The Ohio State University drove home first-place honors in the EcoCAR 2 advanced vehicle technology competition finale for delivering a re-engineered plug-in hybrid that impressed judges across the board. During the three-year project, the students used state-of-the-art industry tools to redesign a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, implementing vehicle energy storage, electric drive and ethanol-(E85)-fueled engine technology.
In this webinar recording, dSPACE demonstrates how you can achieve end-to-end traceability between Application Life-Cycle Management (ALM) tools and model-based engineering tools.
In this webinar recording, dSPACE shows you how to quickly optimize the use of HIL systems, become ISO-26262-compliant, perform requirements-based testing, and achieve 24/7 HIL operation.
This webinar recording shows you how to use test and data management software with full, integrated variant support and with advanced capabilities to organize, parameterize, distribute, and automate test execution to prepare and use HIL systems in the most efficient way possible.
SYNECT helps you manage and automate testing in local as well as globally distributed teams and connects management processes, actual test work, and tools. SYNECT provides full traceability from requirements to test results. Powerful monitoring options, such as reports or dashboards, visualize the test status and progress. With its integrated variant management, SYNECT provides a systematic and transparent approach for testing ECU variants and versions.
SYNECT furthermore automates test system setup, including HIL preparation and build processes, and enables agile development by supporting continuous testing. Using SYNECT will help you set up 24/7 testing and optimize HIL utilization.
SYNECT enables collaboration and automation for ECU testing.
