NAVIGATING THE ROAD AHEAD: TESTING CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES FOR SOFTWARE DEFINED VEHICLES
PRESENTATION

Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs) offer improved convenience, effectiveness, and safety and represent a paradigm shift in automotive engineering, where software increasingly governs critical functions traditionally handled by mechanical systems. This transition introduces new challenges in testing and validation, necessitating robust methodologies to ensure safety and reliability. Their successful integration into mainstream transportation systems hinges upon addressing technical challenges across various technologies. This presentation explores the state of the industry and unique testing requirements of in-car networks, lidar and radar technologies, cellular vehicle-to-everything (CV2X) communication, and cyber security of ADAS and AV functions.

Carrie Browen, Solution Manager, Keysight Technologies

THE CONTINUOUS TESTING APPROACH TO DRIVE AUTOMOTIVE SOFTWARE QUALITY
PRESENTATION

To cope with growing safety, security, and market requirements, automotive software development teams are investing in automating CI workflows and increasing open source adoption. These days, teams must develop, test, and certify software in much shorter cycles. They expect the build and test infrastructure to be automatically instantiated, available on demand, and scaled according to requirements. Software testing tools that enable standards compliance must fit this picture and not force developers to change their workflows, tools, and habits. To maintain a fast development pace, teams often find it laborious to rewrite existing GoogleTest cases. Instead, they prefer toolchains that support continued use of open source modules and testing frameworks.

Join this session to see how to solve these challenges and ensure your teams deliver safe, secure, and reliable software.
During this session, we’ll discuss and demo:

• Best practices for adopting or improving your CI/CD workflow.
• Automating code quality as part of the SDLC.
• Speeding up the release cycle and reducing costs.
• Offering scalability for large complex software projects.
• Integrating into frameworks like GoogleTest.

Ricardo Camacho, Director of Safety & Security Compliance, Parasoft
