Business development manager EU
Intrepid Control Systems
Deutschland

The automotive industry is undergoing a huge transformation ranging from electrification to autonomous driving. The new powertrain and autonomous functions are impacting the in-vehicle network architecture. Automotive ethernet is fundamental to these changes to provide a much higher bandwidth for data communication. The classical domain architecture is substituted by zonal architectures with zonal ECU controllers to aggregate compute power and intelligence in fewer ECUs in a central approach. In this transition, the integration of legacy networks gives huge challenges in power management and wake/sleep architecture. Learn how the zonal architecture is the enabler to build the software-defined vehicle.

An efficient solution for decoupling test automation process from PLM

Manuel Zabelt
Product owner
tracetronic GmbH
Deutschland

Product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions ensure that the software quality of new driving functions can be assessed reliably. Trying to address all aspects of testing and test automation (test cases, test benches, test execution, pipelines) within PLM solutions leads to huge challenges. How can these challenges be addressed effectively? The presentation shows that decoupling test automation and PLM processes can be the key to success. An independent test automation platform can not only execute highly complex test setups automatically but also provide fast, valid input to PLM systems. With the right solutions in place, experts can each focus on their specific tasks.

What the audience will learn
