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

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 all validation levels. Test assets authored at the desktop run unchanged on HIL benches and HIL farms.

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.

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.

Testing solutions

Consistent, automated validation from workstation to test farm

Aurora TEK's testing solutions IGNITE and TORQ deliver automated validation at every level of the development stack, using the same test logic from desktop to global HIL farm.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Key Benefits

Built to enable earlier validation, accelerate test development, and simplify complex SDV testing workflows.

Validate Before Hardware Exists

Author ASAM XIL 3.0 tests and execute them against FMI/FMU virtual ECUs, enabling earlier defect detection and accelerating time to market.

Author Once, Run Anywhere

Execute the same test logic across desktop environments, HIL benches, test farms, and virtualized environments without rework.

Reduce Hardware Dependency

Bring validation closer to the engineer by enabling desktop-based and virtual testing, reducing reliance on scarce bench resources and accelerating feedback cycles.

Comprehensive SDV Test Coverage

Support functional, performance, security, fuzzing, and time-synchronisation testing within a single validation environment, helping teams address increasing SDV complexity.
