What can customers accomplish with iSYSTEM?

Customers can use iSYSTEM’s fitIDEA in their company. When using fitIDEA as execution platform, customers also get a reference board and reference application with the related test scripts for the specific microcontroller.

With the support of iSYSTEM, this reference design and the related test scripts are now ported stepwise to the customer’s hardware and software. The tests are extended and adapted as required.

Eventually, the customer has a complete test environment for his hardware and application software that facilitates continuous, efficient and quick testing of all components. If a component is exchanged or modified, e.g. a new compiler or hardware version, testing is implemented easily and variations are identified immediately.

Outlook

Interestingly, functional safety standards more and more incorporate the qualification of software tools. This is of particular interest because the risk of using software tools in respect to specific requirements and “use cases” has to be considered in preparation of a development. Software tool manufacturers are not excluded either, i.e. these manufacturers are expected to implement suitable improvements and extensions in their own development and test processes. iSYSTEM have already aligned their processes to this trend and internalize an agile software development process with test automation transparency.
