Your microcontroller is the DUT

The ExecutionPlatform is a generic Processor-in-the-Loop (PiL) test system to which your microcontroller is connected as a plug-in board. We call this board Device-under-Test (DUT).

This board makes pins and programming interface accessible to the test system. You design it with our template or order a ready-to-use one.

Your microcontroller as a test object

One device for unit, integration & system tests

Connect agents to the physical world

LLMs are excellent at software and blind to physics. The ExecutionPlatform tests exactly the boundary where an AI's knowledge ends: the transition from firmware to electrical signal at the microcontroller pin.

The ExecutionPlatform user interface is based on standards. We do not invent yet another test or model description language. All input is text. All actions are fully automatic. This design makes it the ideal choice for AI agents.

Write your tests

Test individual functions, classes or modules. With the Code Interface, you can easily flash and start your unit tests on the microcontroller. The results are conveniently prepared and evaluated on the PC. Using a built-in benchmark function, you can ensure that the timing behavior meets your requirements.

Ready-made support for GoogleTest, Unity, Catch2.

No need to run on PC with another compiler.

Permanently check timing behavior for critical paths.

See unit testing in action

HW/SW integration tests check the interaction between hardware-dependent code and the physical pin level of the microcontroller. Using Endpoints, you start processes on the pins or evaluate processes started by the microcontroller. This might be setting/reading a GPIO pin or sending/receiving a CAN frame.

Tests use the Code Interface to execute a function on the microcontroller and thus trigger the behavior to be tested on the pins. This behavior is then automatically checked using the appropriate endpoint.

Reproducibility guaranteed through automation.

Easily check error states.

Prove coverage for drivers/HAL.

See integration testing in action

Traditional system tests use complex HiL systems that test the product at the outer limits of the circuit board. The ExecutionPlatform offers an innovative and practical alternative that can already be used in the early development phase.

A Model simulates the microcontroller’s environment on the pins. Endpoints can trigger one-off or regular events on the pins. The model uses callbacks to respond to events initiated by the microcontroller.

Digital twin of the environment via model.

Real-time capability guaranteed.
