Automotive Systems (like Seating, HVAC, BCM, Infotainment etc). Can you
provide the required support?.
Ans: Yes, we have experience in helping such customers in setting-up such
test labs.
Our V&V (Verification & Validation) Consultants will travel to your location
and set-up the Offshore Development Centre (ODC).
Basis your requirements, the validation and testing tools will also be
deployed for the testing processes. Any additional support will also be
provided as per the project specifications.
Q 2: Can you provide test and validation reports for one of our existing
automotive application?
Ans: Yes, our Consultants can provide testing of your existing product and
deliver the required test reports.
The test reports will be generated as per the specifications of the project.
Our testing and validation team has expertise in various tools, following is
the indicative lists of such tools:
• Tessy tool, CANTATA, RTRT for Unit Testing,
• CAPL Script, Mx-VDev for Integration testing
• CANAlyzer, LabView, ETAS for HIL Testing, SIL Testing and MIL Testing.
We have collaborated with some of our customers for testing of Low-level
drivers and protocol software stacks such as UDS (ISO 14229) and CAN (ISO
11898).
We have an industry-recognized and proven competency in Tessy tool.

Q 3. Which business engagement model do you follow for your
Automotive ECU & System Testing Projects?
Ans: Our testing services are primarily provided on a Time and Material

licenses.
In scenarios where our association require long term commitment, we can
design the engagement based on ‘fixed price model’. This happens when
there is a detailed long-term roadmap for the project and the
understanding of the complexity of the code.
Q 4. Do you follow a specific team structure for testing of automotive
system/solution?
Ans: Choosing us as your technology partner, you get a dedicated team of
professionals working on the project.
Usually, the team working on a Unit, Integration or Functional Testing

Q 6. Our project requires testing engineers to travel to our location. Do
you have an offshore/onsite business model?
Ans: If the project demands, we can send across our testing engineers to
the customers’ location as per our offshore business model.
As an alternative, we can set up an Offshore Development Centre (ODC) for
the testing project. The customers can send the software module for
testing. As we have a secure FTP in place, the code sent for testing is
completely secure.
The tests will be performed, and reports will be shared within the agreed-
upon timeframe.
