One platform across the entire SDV validation lifecycle

A strong architectural foundation reduces integration risks and accelerates every downstream phase — from prototyping to validation. Our System Engineering approach integrates naturally with prototyping, toolchain development, and HIL environments.

Author and execute test cases from day one of development — without waiting for bench access.

Scale the same test assets from desktop to HIL bench to HIL farm without rework.

Reduce hardware dependency through virtualization and left-shift validation.

Capture test results, traces, and logs consistently across all environments

Perform root cause analysis in a unified, system-aware analytics context.

was built to close this gap.

Fragmented validation across the lifecycle

The problem

Validation environments change between development stages — desktop tools, HIL benches, virtual platforms, and fleet vehicles each operate in isolation. Test assets are rewritten at each stage. Results are stored in disconnected systems. This leads to duplicated effort, inconsistent results, and defects that travel undetected from development to system integration.

How Aurora TEK helps

Aurora TEK provides one platform for test execution and analytics across all validation levels. Test assets authored at the desktop run unchanged on HIL benches and HIL farms. Results flow automatically into a shared analytics context — without manual export or re-import.

Late defect detection and left-shift validation

The problem

80% of issues surface within six months of SOP — when hardware is scarce, test cycles are long, and every fix carries schedule risk. alidation that starts late stays late.

How Aurora TEK helps

IGNITE brings test execution to the individual engineer's workstation from day one. Desktop-based and virtual validation run early in the development cycle, shifting defect discovery to where it costs the least to fix.

Manual, error-prone test setup and bench management

The problem

HIL bench setups are complex to configure, difficult to reproduce, and expensive to scale. Managing a distributed bench fleet manually introduces scheduling conflicts, configuration drift, and extended downtime between test cycles.

How Aurora TEK helps

TORQ orchestrates test execution across individual HIL benches and global test farms — with centralized scheduling, real-time monitoring, and automated recovery workflows. On failure, a Jira ticket is created automatically and an agentic workflow triages the issue without human dispatch.

Unmanageable volumes of test data without context

The problem

SDVs generate up to 10 exabytes of data per month. Logs, traces, and signals accumulate across disconnected systems with no shared context. Engineers spend more time locating and correlating data than analyzing it.

How Aurora TEK helps

Aurora TEK continuously captures all validation assets — test results, trace files, logs, and signals — and pushes them into a cloud-based analytics platform. All data is available in a unified, system-aware context, regardless of where it was generated.

Slow and costly root cause analysis

The problem

Finding the root cause of a failure requires manually correlating data across tools, teams, and environments — a process that takes hours or days and delays fixes across the entire program.

How Aurora TEK helps

The Aurora TEK Analytics Platform provides system-aware visualizations, signal-level decoding, and timing analysis in one environment. Engineers move from "what happened" to "why it happened" without switching tools or losing context. Agentic AI-supported workflows pre-select relevant data and guide root-cause exploration, compressing analysis cycles significantly.

Disconnected teams and broken information chains

The problem

Test results, analysis findings, and defect tickets exist in separate systems — making it difficult for development, test, and analysis teams to act on the same information. Context is lost at every handoff.

How Aurora TEK helps

Aurora TEK integrates analytics directly with Jira, linking every issue to the underlying traces, logs, and visual evidence. Findings are shareable via URL — any team member opens the same visualization, with the same data loaded, in the same state the analyst left it.

Process-driven, not tool-driven

Execute tests across the lifecycle

Tests run on every validation level — using the same test assets, without rewriting:

Desktop and table-top environments (IGNITE)
HIL and HIL-farm test benches (TORQ)
Virtualized environments
Prototype and fleet vehicles

Capture validation data continuously

All test assets — results, trace files, logs, and signals — are captured automatically at every stage and pushed into Aurora TEK's cloud-based analytics platform.

Perform centralized analysis in the cloud

Captured data flows into a unified analytics context combining E/E architecture knowledge, system-level relationships, and cross-environment results — making the full validation picture visible in one place.

Identify, understand and resolve issues faster

Engineers use System Map to navigate architecture context, FunctA to decode signal behavior, and PerformA to analyze timing and performance — then link findings directly to Jira without leaving the platform.

Analytics platform

From Data to Root Cause — Faster

The Aurora TEK Analytics Platform transforms raw validation data from benches and fleet vehicles into actionable insight — in a single shared environment.

Functional signal analysis

FunctA decodes in-vehicle communication down to signal level. Engineers plot signals, apply time markers, correlate behavior across time windows, and annotate findings linked directly to Jira tickets. AI-assisted filtering navigates large trace datasets without manual parsing.

Timing and performance analysis

PerformA analyzes data throughput, routing delays, ECU startup timing, SOME/IP protocol validation, and time synchronization across distributed compute environments. Virtual timing behavior simulation validates E/E architecture decisions before hardware is committed.

Architecture visualization

The entry point for every investigation. System Map presents the full vehicle E/E architecture in a map-style layout — components, interactions, protocol relationships, and zone boundaries visible at a glance. AI-driven queries surface architectural detail on demand, in natural language.

Together, these tools enable teams to:

Identify anomalies, deviations, and root causes across software, network, and system behavior

Navigate complex SDV architectures using system-aware visualizations

Move from "what happened" to "why it happened" — without switching tools or losing context

Collaboration, Jira and agentic AI

Analyze, Collaborate, and Resolve — with Agentic AI

Root cause analysis does not end with one engineer. Aurora TEK is built for distributed teams working across roles, locations, and time zones.

Once an issue is identified, teams can:

Bench utilization sustained through automated scheduling and agentic recovery

Full farm visibility: status, CPU usage, execution counts, booking schedules

Consistent execution across hardware and virtual setups

Jira integration links every issue directly to the underlying analytics evidence — maintaining traceability from detection to resolution. Traces, logs, and visualizations travel with the ticket.

Agentic AI workflows pre-analyze failures, pre-select relevant data segments, and guide root-cause exploration — reducing manual effort and compressing issue resolution cycles. On bench failure, agentic recovery creates the ticket, triages the fault, and triggers follow-up actions automatically.
