dSpace’s test automation software, AutomationDesk 4.1, has been certified by TÜV SÜD for testing safety-related systems according to ISO 26262 and IEC 61508. The TÜV SÜD certificate makes AutomationDesk 4.1 suitable for the development and testing of safety-related systems in automotives, commercial vehicles, aerospace and many other industries. IEC 61508 is an international standard for the development of safety-related electronic systems and ISO 26262 is the standard for functional safety in passenger vehicles.

AutomationDesk is a test authoring and automation tool for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing of electronic control units (ECUs) and users can create and edit test routines in graphical format.

AutomationDesk provides libraries containing a large number of predefined test steps (e.g., for easy access to the HIL simulator, to a Failure Insertion Unit (FIU), or to calibration or diagnostics software). With AutomationDesk, tests can be executed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, allowing engineers to increase test coverage and improve ECU software quality while saving time and costs.
