Experience

Accutest has over 16 years experience of successful project delivery. Everything from requirements collection and specification through to testing - including the documentation of all steps and results, combined with consistent and accurate reporting of progress - are an integral part of every Accutest project.

Accutest projects to date have included prototype network and ECU system testing, instrument cluster and audio systems software validation, whole vehicle network validation, safety and restraint system design validation, diagnostic software validation and FMEA verification.

We have extensive experience in network, system & software validation including:

• EPAS system product verification for the world's leading steering systems supplier
• Development of a system prototype tester, fitted with an integral camera, to capture visual test data for real-time feedback to update calibration variables and provide automatic test & validation results directly to the operator
• Whole vehicle network testing for both a major global car manufacturer and the UK 's leading truck company
• Diagnostic software validation for a major global car manufacturer and a global Tier 1 supplier

We have extensive experience in network test and integration including:

• Development of Vector CANoe network simulations to simulate a whole vehicle network
• Simulation of ‘rest-of-vehicle' to exercise a unit or system under test
• Software version management on delivery of modules ensuring functionality is correct to software specification
• Distributed functional implementation planning for a major global car manufacturer
• Design and development of network simulation solutions for multiplex engineering and system integration
• System requirements capture
