Webinar Recording: Variant-Based Testing with HIL Systems – The Elegant way
In this webinar recording, dSPACE shows you how HIL systems can be automatically prepared and used for testing different ECU versions and variants to achieve the best possible testing efficiency.
- Manage and automate testing
- Automate HIL testing and achieve more efficient HIL utilization
- Establish full traceability from requirements to test results
Managing complex data safely, efficiently and centrally.
Application Areas
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.
Key Benefits
SYNECT enables collaboration and automation for ECU testing.
- Automate HIL testing and achieve more efficient HIL utilization
- Introduce model-in-the-loop (MIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing using the same tools and workflows as for HIL testing
- Establish full traceability from requirements to test results
- Integrate with ALM tools and processes to bridge the gap to actual test execution
- Monitor the test progress with customizable dashboards and comprehensive reports
