Verification & Validation Expertise

Accelerating the journey to safe and reliable automobiles.

V&V approaches are evolving to address the challenges presented by software & services, personalization, autonomous driving, and connected & electric vehicles. This includes software/system requirements & integration testing, system health and performance profiling ensuring cybersecurity and functional safety of complex systems.

V&V is embracing AI and machine learning to automate the test lifecycle – intelligent test case generation, execution, and analysis, and advanced HIL systems and virtual environments to conduct time and cost-efficient testing before physical prototypes are built. Shift-left methodologies call for integrating V&V within DevSecOps pipelines, enabling continuous testing and security assessments throughout the development lifecycle leading to earlier bug detection and faster resolution.
