Description

Hardware-in-the-loop simulation serves as a reliable and economical method for conducting tests on physical equipment. It is particularly well-suited for validating designs and assessing intricate systems like those found in vehicles, aircraft, missiles, satellites, rockets, and trains. Instead of testing in real-world settings, evaluations are carried out within a virtual environment. A significant portion of the testing framework is substituted with mathematical models, enabling the integration of various components into a closed-loop system. This approach results in tests that are not only repeatable and organized but also expedited and more dependable. Current hardware-in-the-loop simulation technologies include the SIMulation Workbench real-time modeling platform, which operates on the RedHawk Linux OS. With SIMulation Workbench, users benefit from an all-encompassing framework that simplifies the development and execution of real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulations. The ability to simulate in a controlled environment enhances the accuracy and efficiency of the testing process, making it an invaluable tool in modern engineering.

Description

VectorCAST is an extensive test-automation framework aimed at optimizing unit, integration, and system testing throughout the embedded software development process. It facilitates the automation of test case creation and execution for applications written in C, C++, and Ada, while also accommodating host, target, and continuous integration environments. Additionally, VectorCAST provides structural code coverage metrics, which are essential for ensuring the validation of safety-critical and mission-critical systems. The tool seamlessly integrates with simulation processes such as software-in-the-loop and processor-in-the-loop, and it works with model-based engineering tools like Simulink/Embedded Coder. It also supports advanced white-box testing techniques, including dynamic instrumentation, fault injection, and the generation of test harnesses, effectively combining static analysis results—like those from Polyspace—with dynamic coverage to ensure comprehensive lifecycle verification. Among its significant features are the ability to correlate requirements with tests and the management and reporting of coverage across different configurations, ultimately enhancing the testing process. Overall, VectorCAST empowers organizations to achieve more reliable and efficient testing in their software development endeavors.
