ASAP TestSphere: Fast and cost-effective virtual validation

To achieve extensive modularity and scalability in software validation, ASAP has designed its test system to integrate infrastructures ranging from Model-in-the-Loop to Hardware-in-the-Loop. This allows customers’ test approaches and tools to be seamlessly integrated from requirements through to release. At the same time, the test design process is decoupled from the tool landscape. This enables customers to continue using their familiar systems, ensuring great flexibility and speed by eliminating the need to overhaul their existing tools or learn new ones.

In essence, this is a validation ecosystem that separates the development of vehicle-specific functions from the development of the test bench’s foundational system. The core of this test bench-independent ASAP TestSphere—which integrates existing tools and systems and communicates through standardised interfaces—is its tool-independent editor. This editor connects via bridges to the respective ALM tool, the system architecture, and the customers’ test system. It visualises all data within a well-structured user interface.
