Our network
Communication is key
For us, communication is key, no matter if within or outside of tracetronic. Therefore, we cooperate with industrial partners, universities and research facilities, since we believe that we can only learn through exchange.

Partnerships and cooperations

We are proud to maintain close and trusting partnerships.
Together with our partners, we want to drive forward developments in test automation. To this end, we have set ourselves three central goals:

Technical partners

ATI Accurate Technologies
ATI Accurate Technologies provides software and hardware solutions for measurement, calibration and diagnostic processes.
These includes the calibration and data acquisition tool VISION.

With ecu.test, functions of VISION that are used in particular for the calibration and analysis of control units can be used automatically. By connecting VISION to ecu.test, internal control unit variables can be queried and real-time measurement values can be read and recorded. In addition, control units can be flashed and application data can be managed.

IBM
IBM is a global technology and consulting company that offers a broad portfolio of products and services for innovative digital transformation solutions. One focus is the development of software solutions for business automation.
Engineering Test Management (ETM) is a collaborative quality management solution that enables end-to-end test planning and test resource management.

Our products ecu.test and test.guide enable the highly automated capture of test results in complex, heterogeneous CI environments and their integration into the quality management solution via export to IBM ETM. Our tools and engineering services ensure that our joint customers receive a solution that combines continuous testing with product lifecycle management.

The combination of the tools creates a powerful, integrated environment for highly automated testing within quality management solutions, especially for ECU development and testing.

IPG Automotive
IPG Automotive specializes in vehicle simulation in the fields of autonomous driving, ADAS, powertrain and vehicle dynamics.
By connecting the CarMaker simulation software to ecu.test, realistic driving scenarios can be tested in virtual environments, such as the reaction of the emergency brake assistant to obstacles.

ecu.test uses simulation data from CarMaker (sensor data, vehicle-specific parameters or environmental parameters) for automated, scenario-based tests and logs the test results. Numerous interfaces are available for data exchange, allowing both products and other tools to work together seamlessly. Their interaction enables continuous testing of complex and extensive ADAS/AD projects during development, which can significantly shorten development and release cycles.

Jama Software
Jama Software is a company that specializes in requirements, risk and test management software.
Its main solution, Jama Connect, not only plans, controls and documents the entire development lifecycle of complex products, but also manages requirements, risks and tests in real time.

By connecting Jama Connect to ecu.test, requirements management and test automation are seamlessly linked. This means that test case specifications that are managed in Jama Connect can be directly linked to automated test cases in ecu.test, tested and displayed in a traceable way at any time.

MathWorks
MathWorks develops software solutions for mathematical calculations, geared towards engineering and science.
The MATLAB and Simulink tools are used in the context of model-based software development for the development of algorithms, modeling, simulation and analysis of dynamic systems.

By connecting MATLAB and Simulink to ecu.test, model variables can be read, written, stimulated and recorded in the test case. In addition to evaluating the recorded value curves in the trace analysis, the test report can be used to check whether the expectations defined in ecu.test have been met. This tool connection not only enables efficient error identification at a very early stage of function development, but also function testing under realistic conditions in real time is a major advantage.

Mechanical Simulation Corporation
Mechanical Simulation Corporation specializes in software solutions that simulate the driving behavior of cars, trucks, motorcycles and special vehicles.
The environment simulation tool CarSim offers methods to model and simulate the behavior and reaction of passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks.

By connecting CarSim to ecu.test, complex driving scenarios can be created and certain driving behaviors can be tested in a variety of ways by changing parameters and environmental conditions. Automated test execution with ecu.test enables development teams to test ADAS/AD functions in particular at an early stage of development.

PTC
PTC provides software solutions for a wide range of applications, from product development and manufacturing to digital transformation and distribution.
Windchill RV&S and CodeBeamer are two independent PLM solutions that provide comprehensive requirements, risk, and test management capabilities. With these two tools, hardware and software development processes can be efficiently aligned.

Our tools and engineering services ensure that our joint customers receive a solution that combines continuous testing with product lifecycle management. ecu.test and test.guide enable not only highly automated testing, but also the recording of test results in complex, heterogeneous CI environments. These can then be reused by exporting to Windchill RV&S or Codebeamer. This creates a powerful, integrated environment for highly automated testing in the context of test, requirements, change and product lifecycle management - specifically for control unit development and testing.
