Example Requirements for HIL Testing Technology

• Test systems should be modular enough to set up, verify, and implement in stages
• Test systems should handle simple components as well as entire automotive systems
• Test systems should be able to switch between simulated hardware and actual hardware without significant downtime
• Test systems should be able to test different models within the same E/E domain in less than a day
• Test systems should be able to interact seamlessly with distributed network systems
• Test systems should be compatible with continuous integration and validation processes
• Test systems should be capable of continuous automated operation
• Test systems can provide feedback back on hardware configuration for different validation test
