Build. Test. Validate. Faster.

Test software, hardware and custom test rigs for vehicle electronics.

Engineering solutions for smarter product development and validation.

We design and deliver engineering software, hardware platforms and custom test systems.

They help automotive and embedded engineering teams develop products, test them faster, and validate them with less effort.

What we deliver

The starting point

Engineering challenges. Practical solutions.

Four problems come up on almost every validation programme. None of them is about engineering skill — they are about test capacity, repeatability and visibility.

Limited test infrastructure
Too few test benches. Engineers wait for a free slot, and releases slip.
Time-consuming manual testing
Manual test runs are slow, hard to repeat exactly, and errors slip through.
Complex development and simulation
Testing starts late. Problems found on the vehicle are the most expensive ones to fix.
Little visibility of results
Managers cannot see what was tested, what passed, and what was never covered at all.

Products

Three ways we support engineering teams

Software, hardware and complete test systems. Each one stands on its own, and they are built to work together.

Software Studio automated test run and report view

Validative Software Studio
An integrated software environment for model development, simulation of electronic control units (ECUs), manual testing, automated validation and test analysis.
- Build plant models and run ECU software in simulation
- Tests written in Python, run as repeatable suites
- A report and a coverage view after every run
Typical applicationA control function tested in simulation first, then on the real ECU.

Electron eins – Hardware Platforms
Embedded validation hardware that connects to electronic control units for real-time testing, on an engineer’s own bench.
- Connects to the ECU over CAN bus (controller area network)
- Desk-sized, so each engineer can test at their own bench
- Works with Validative Software Studio
Typical applicationECU bench testing and early software validation, without a full HIL rack.

Readiness: Available for custom development
Custom HIL & Test Rigs
Application-specific test benches, HIL systems and integrated rigs built around your requirement — including when the test architecture is not decided yet.
- Designed around the part under test and the tests it must pass
- Mechanics, electronics, wiring and software as one delivery
- Signal conditioning and fault injection designed in
Typical applicationBattery management scenarios tested on the bench, not in the vehicle.

Applications

Solutions by application

The same three products answer different validation problems. Tell us the application, and we will say which setup fits.

Engineering services

You bring the requirement — we work out the test setup.

For customer-specific projects we take on the engineering itself: the bench, the automation, the models and the integration, scoped and delivered as one piece of work.

How we work

Our engineering approach

The same five steps on every project, whether it is a software pilot or a complete test rig.

Understand requirements
What has to be tested, and why.
Design the solution
Architecture, interfaces and scope, agreed before anything is built.
Develop the system
Software, electronics, mechanics and plant models.
Integrate hardware and software
Wiring, signals and the test suite brought together.
Validate and deliver
Commission, document, train, hand over and support.

Integration

Fits your engineering environment

Works alongside the tools and benches you already use.

CAN bus interfacesCommunication with the unit under test over CAN — the controller area network used in vehicles.
Tests written in PythonTest files are ordinary Python files, kept in your own version control beside the rest of your code.
Windows desktop applicationSoftware Studio runs on the Windows PC an engineer already has. There is no lab server to install.
Adapters for existing test rigsA rig already in use becomes one more place the tests can run. The adapter for it is developed on request.

Concept illustrationSoftware Studio at the centre, with simulation, Electron eins and an existing test rig around it.

Adding a rig is an adapter, not a rewrite — and it is engineering work we scope for that rig. We do not publish compatibility with equipment we have not connected ourselves.
