Automotive verification and validation support
Challenges in automotive verification
As vehicle systems grow in complexity, the ability to verify and validate safety goals is a cornerstone of ISO 26262. Functional safety verification ensures that system design meets safety requirements, while validation confirms that implemented systems fulfil intended purpose.
Poor V&V can result in failed certifications or, worse, real-world failures. Getting it right requires both structured methodology and independent oversight.
