Testing MiL, SiL, PiL, HiL and Vehicle
With PIKETEC TPT, you can test ECU software and embedded control systems in all development phases such as Model-in-the-loop (MiL testing), Software-in-the-loop (SiL testing), Processor-in-the-loop (PiL testing), Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL testing), ECU testing and vehicle testing.
Safety standard directives can be satisfied while testing with TPT up to the highest safety level. Relevant standards, such as ISO26262, are well supported.
| TPT Supports | TPT Features | Supported Test Environments |
|---|---|---|
| TPT supports all testing activities from test case design/generation, test execution, test assessment and reporting, as well as test management and requirements traceability. |

Test Environments of TPT
| Model-in-the-loop (MiL) | |
|---|---|
 |
MIL-tests in TPT can be executed on MATLAB/Simulink, TargetLink, and ASCET. Analysis of your model interface, the generation of a test harness and test execution: every step is automated by TPT. |
| Software-in-the-loop (SiL) | |
|---|---|
| C-code can directly be tested with TPT. Also AUTOSAR software components can be tested with TPT as well as C-code that has automatically been generated from Simulink, TargetLink, or ASCET models
Testing C/C++ code |
 |
| Processor-in-the-loop (PiL) | |
|---|---|
 |
PIL-tests can be performed with TPT on different architectures by coupling TPT closely to the Universal Debug Engine (UDE) by PLS, or Trace32 by Lauterbach. PIL-tests via Simulink are also possible. |
| Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) | |
|---|---|
| TPT is connectable to dSPACE HIL, Simulink Realtime, Concurrent iHawk, NI Veristand, CANoe or LABCAR HIL. Dependent on the HIL, the TPT-VM runs on a control-PC and communication via ASAM HIL API or on real-time capable hardware. |  |
| Automated Driving Test | |
|---|---|
 |
It is possible to establish a communication between TPT and a vehicle. Parallel driver interaction is possible via acoustic message or graphical display. |
TPT Customer Success Stories
