Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and Test Tool Integration

Highlights

• Integrate ALM tools and processes to bridge the gap to actual test execution
• Establish ISO 26262 compliance through full traceability from requirements to test cases and test results
• Centrally store test results of all test platforms, e.g., MIL/SIL/HIL, and even of in-vehicle tests in one place
• Track the impact of requirement changes
• Benefit from our standard integrations or let us integrate your tool of choice

ALM tools are used to manage functional requirements, test specifications, software configurations, and defects. Companies often prescribe which ALM tool to use. The tools are usually not intended to connect to test implementation and automation tools. Therefore, the testers have to manually report their test activities, such as test results, tested variants and test parameters, to the ALM solution to achieve full traceability. SYNECT integrates with several ALM tools and processes to bridge the gap to actual test execution.

Today’s verification and validation strategies comprise different test stages on different test platforms, ranging from MIL and SIL platforms to highly customized HIL test benches to the testing of complete vehicles. This calls for a common solution that manages all test activities of the test platforms and test automation tools. SYNECT is the one tool for managing all tests and test results throughout the different test stages.  SYNECT automatically collects the test results immediately after the test execution – No manual report or verdict copying is required.

dSPACE has integrated SYNECT with various ALM and test authoring tools for our customers. This let us implement the multifaceted process requirements of our customers by customizing the tooling to match their processes. 

SYNECT is explicitly designed to seamlessly integrate into third-party tool environments – via open, well-documented APIs and on the basis of industry-approved standards.
