Our partnership with Synopsys has been critical to our ability to develop our virtual software lab, InvirTech. Access to Synopsys’s industry-leading, timing accurate hardware models has been key to our technical development, and collaboration between us has helped greatly in marketing our product to OEMs and Tier 1s in the Automotive Market. - Martin Baker, CEO, Invirtech, LLC

Product Description
InvirTest – A Virtual Test Lab for Software:

• A Virtual Lab supporting all elements needed for Virtual HIL testing
• A Data Manager for ECU hardware models, plant models, target embedded software, signal definitions, test vectors, test procedures and test configuration
• A Test Manager providing automated test wiring, setup, execution, and report generation
• A User-interface providing an easy-to-use, single interface that abstracts and simplifies the complexities of underlying Virtual Prototyping Solution from Synopsys & Mathworks/Simulink Models.

Benefits
InvirTest – A Virtual Test Lab for Software:

• Early software testing before hardware is available, reducing expensive late changes.
• More efficient and extensive testing in a lower cost virtual environment.
• Easy-to-use interface allows typical product or test engineer to run tests; permitting highly skilled specialists to focus on modeling and setup for improved efficiency.
• Earlier software maturity and improved quality reduce development costs
• Increased visibility and control with repeatable and predictable results for easier debugging.
• Easy replication of Virtual Labs for a global workforce and throughout the value chain for efficient shared development.
• Easily resurrected test environment to permit quick testing of in-cycle changes.

Interoperability Description and Customer Benefit
InvirTest is an easy-to-use, single interface that abstracts and simplifies the complexities of underlying tools (Synopsys/Virtual Prototyping, Mathworks/Simulink) while testing the user's embedded software in a virtual HIL framework.

As shown in the Flow diagram below, a Data Manager stores Synopsys - based ECU models, MathWorks Simulink plant models, as well as the user's target software, test vectors and other product information.

Through co-simulation using CoMET (or METeor), InvirTest manages the execution of the specified and auto-generated tests, analysis of the results and generation of reports.
