The future of automotive testing: integrated, predictive, and scalable to millions of cases

22 Oct 2025
Agenda
As vehicle platforms evolve into software-defined, network-rich systems, testing can no longer be a downstream gate — it must be embedded directly into development. This session presents a fully integrated validation approach capable of executing 3.5 million+ functional, network, and safety-critical tests across HiL, SiL, and on-vehicle environments. We detail the orchestration pipeline — from automated build and deployment, to change-impact–driven test selection, to predictive defect localization — that allows releases to shrink from weeks to days without sacrificing coverage or compliance. Attendees will see how embedding adaptive, data-driven testing into the development lifecycle enables speed, safety, and continuous readiness for production.
  • Why traditional testing fails at modern automotive scale – and how feature-level fast mini V-cycles solve the problem
  • How integrated testing works in practice – daily builds, 3.5 million+ automated test executions, and dashboards for real-time release readiness
  • How to prioritize tests intelligently – using automated impact analysis to focus on high-risk requirements first
  • How to measure software maturity continuously – a daily score (0–100) combining change impact, coverage, and uncertainty
  • Where testing is heading – automated continuous feedback and root cause analysis with failure prediction delivering a 10x speedup over traditional development
