Vector Korea (CEO Ji-Hwan Jang), a global vehicle network and embedded system development solutions company, has begun to strengthen quality and reliability by starting testing from the early stages of design through a SIL/HIL integrated test solution to eliminate functional errors and logic problems in advance.

Vector announced on the 30th that it will supply the 'SIL/HIL integrated test system' to the domestic market to ensure the quality and reliability of ECU (electronic control unit) software.

This solution is an integrated testing method that connects Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), and is a system that can simultaneously achieve development speed, quality improvement, and resource savings.

With the recent advancement of vehicles and the increasing complexity of electrical components, integrated verification of software and hardware is becoming an essential element.

Vector responds to these industrial demands by flexibly extending SIL testing and connecting it to HIL testing, providing a seamless test process.

This allows for early identification of errors in the early stages of development, which has the effect of shortening the overall development period.

In particular, Vector's SIL/HIL integrated test solution supports a 'shift-left' test strategy. It is designed to start testing from the early stages of design to eliminate functional errors or logic problems in advance and further enhance quality and reliability.

By utilizing SIL Adapter and HIL Adapter, test environments and cases can be organically reused, maximizing the efficiency of test resources.

SIL testing based on Vector's CANoe platform supports rapid iterative verification and automated test execution by simulating ECU software in a virtual environment without actual hardware.

On the other hand, HIL testing verifies the stability of software under realistic operating conditions, including actual hardware and sensor simulations, real-time control, etc., and provides highly reliable results.

Key features of this system include a verification architecture that seamlessly integrates with customer development processes, and offering customized customization and modular expansion hardware.

Additionally, we designed the test process to be optimized for rapid market entry and to take resource efficiency and economy into consideration.

Vector Korea plans to continue to lead the way in enhancing customers' technological innovation and quality competitiveness by expanding its offering of integrated verification solutions across the domestic automotive and mobility industries.
