Virtual ECUs have long since found their way into software development for powertrains, central control units or steering. Combining real and virtual test benches optimizes the performance of software integration and system tests. This provides developers with a flexible and efficient testing and analysis option.

Cyber security is currently one of the most important topics in technology development and therefore also concerns the company's customers. What does MicroNova offer to meet these challenges?

With the help of this EXAM extension, the safety-relevant documentation for ISO 26262 can be created for the test automation solution. This qualifies this part of the assurance chain for the ECU development process of automotive manufacturers and suppliers.

When testing ECUs, expanding test systems in the direction of virtualization is the most future-proof approach. This is why MicroNova offers virtual test procedures with Virtual ECU and NovaCarts Virtual. The approach enables test cases to be executed on a virtual test bench, with only minimal adjustments compared to conventional hardware test benches. HiL systems can thus be supplemented and test capacities significantly expanded.

MicroNova advises customers on the essential challenges that primarily arise in the new automotive world: Test Concepts and Processes, Modeling and Virtualization, Functional Safety, Cyber Security and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
