What is TESTMETRIX®?

A significant portion of development time goes into root cause analysis. As a rule, the more dependencies exist within the overall system, the more complex the error analysis becomes.

TESTMETRIX® is a platform that simplifies root cause analysis specifically for embedded test runs by consolidating relevant test artifacts and maximizing traceability.

Who is TESTMETRIX® for?

TESTMETRIX® is designed for engineering teams working with hardware-related and complex test infrastructures.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Embedded systems
• Distributed systems
• HiL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) and complex SiL (Software-in-the-Loop) systems

TESTMETRIX® is ideal for teams whose test data is distributed across multiple systems, tools, and test benches, and who need a centralized view of their test executions for efficient root cause analysis.

Current State of the Embedded Testing World

Embedded systems consist of various software and hardware subsystems. These various dependencies frequently cause errors that are not immediately apparent.

To find bugs early, embedded software developers often rely on additionally self-developed test systems tailored precisely to the respective embedded system. Furthermore, Hardware-in-the-Loop test systems are increasingly being developed to continuously and automatically test the embedded software on real hardware during development.

This creates an additional dependency between the embedded system and its associated test system. This test system is itself its own software project and often also its own embedded project.

Challenge in Error Analysis

These developments allow bugs to be found earlier; however, root cause analysis remains tedious.

Test data is often scattered.
