Updates to one software component can cause unintended behavior and performance issues to interrelated vehicle functionality. Auto Validate enables car manufactures to validate the effect a software update has on the entire system, identify the affected software components, and detect the resulting functional change.
Through a dynamic UI, engineers receive full visibility into all configurations and variations of every line of code, its behavior, functions and dependencies, even from multiple suppliers and sources.
