Embedded Testing shouldn't be a Project of its own

Most HIL systems are expensive and complex. But embedded teams that build their own test infrastructure spend too much time maintaining it instead of building and testing their products.

Typical Challenges

  • Custom hardware development
  • Hardware/software integration
  • Sensor & peripheral simulation
  • Logging & signal generation
  • Real-time HIL maintenance

Your engineers should build products, not test infrastructure.

What building it yourself costs

Before the first useful test even runs, an in-house HIL system moves through research, hardware, software and testing — each phase adding engineering hours. At an internal rate of €90/h, the cumulative cost climbs quickly:

The Consequence

Long development cycles, expensive validation, and bugs found too late.
