Create scenarios at scale using parameter-based approaches and natural language, expanding coverage across your entire ODD.
Use dense parameter sweeps to find failing scenarios automatically and efficiently.
Manage your live safety case continuously according to the latest regulatory guidance.
A comprehensive V&V strategy typically involves defining the requirements and operational design domain (ODD), creating detailed test plans, executing these plans using simulations and real-world testing, and continuously analyzing results to ensure systems meet safety and performance standards.
The ODD defines the specific conditions under which an ADAS or AD system is designed to operate. It significantly impacts V&V processes as it determines the scenarios and environments in which the system must be tested and validated.
Simulations are crucial to V&V, allowing for the safe and efficient testing of ADAS and AD systems under controlled, repeatable conditions across a wide range of scenarios, including rare and hazardous situations that are difficult to recreate in the real world.
Developers should anticipate challenges related to managing the vast amounts of data generated, ensuring scenario diversity, traceability of requirements, measurability of test coverage, aligning with evolving regulatory standards, and integrating V&V findings back into development workflows.
V&V ensures that ADAS and AD systems remain compliant with safety standards and function correctly as software is updated and new functionalities are integrated. This ongoing process helps manage a system’s lifecycle, maintaining reliability and safety over time.
