What is the significance of System Testing and HILS in the automotive industry?
System Testing provides a holistic evaluation of vehicle E/E systems, ensuring they function reliably under real-world conditions. HILS (Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation) brings real components into a virtual environment, allowing engineers to validate performance without risking costly physical prototypes. This approach helps identify design flaws, ensures regulatory compliance, and accelerates development cycles. By combining System Testing and HILS, OEMs minimize potential errors and deliver superior quality vehicles.
