There are a multitude of dynamics faced by any industry. There is also a consistent search and development of technological platforms and services to address these changes. This necessitates a shared work philosophy which involves multiple stakeholders. Verification and validation are integral part of any development irrespective of product, process, or services. Also, every industry has a regulatory compliance to adhere too. But the extent of complexity and the level of dependencies or interactions between modules as well as stakeholders involved, creates slippage at some or other level. Nowadays the industries are also driven by reuse for cost effectiveness. Though it marks the significant improvement in the capability to compete, compatibility is a key measure to a successful product or service launch and sustainability.

Automotive industry is inclined towards connected, comfortable, environment friendly, efficient and smarter systems. Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) technology assist drivers to achieve a safer as well as better ride by automation and improvisation of the vehicular systems. With the advent of ADAS system, there is a significant focus not only in the development of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and its features to cater to the emerging market but also on the information that could be displayed to meet the functional as well as safety requirements. This ADAS information display ensures timely notification to the driver with unique alerts that can be acoustic or visual. These systems should be tested thoroughly to ensure reliability as failures may impose severe risk on the OEM. Hardware in the loop testing has been largely adopted by industry against manual testing in lieu of the testing constraints imposed by the latter.

Automotive industry is witnessing a significant growth in the number of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and its features owing to the focused inclination towards customer preference, comfort, safety, environmental friendliness and governmental regulations. The software components are booming as the pivotal to cater to the technology-driven trends such as diverse mobility, autonomous driving, electrification, and connectivity. This necessitates exhaustive testing to ensure quality of the system as any unpredictable failures may impose severe financial and market risk on the OEM. The industry has largely supplemented Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing to manual testing considering the testing constraints posed by the latter. Automation trends complement the demand for quick yet exhaustive testing prior to the market launch.
