Automotive ECUs demand comprehensive validation across thousands of functional, timing, and safety scenarios. TCI implemented a dual‑platform validation framework using AutoPro Tool (Python) on dSPACE for functional testing and VTestStudio + VT Scripts + CAPL on Vector VT for failsafe automation.
Functional automation covers communication timing, state‑machine transitions, power behavior, actuator response, and multi‑build regression cycles. Python analytics provide automated comparison and trend evaluation across releases.
Failsafe validation simulates UV/OV voltage disturbances, short‑to‑ground/battery faults, sensor dropouts, and communication disruptions. CAPL drives deterministic fault injection, ensuring consistent measurement of reaction times, fallback strategies, and recovery behavior.
Advanced simulation through ModelDesk and Aurelion enhances realism by enabling dynamic radar reflections, vehicle motion models, and environmental scenarios. This ensures high‑fidelity validation without physical prototypes.
With this framework, regression cycles are 50% faster and validation coverage has expanded significantly. Automated analytics and scenario‑based testing position TCI for future software‑defined vehicle platforms.
“Automation and simulation together enable deeper insights than any physical testing alone.”
