Challenge

How design verification without a systematic approach becomes a problem

Many companies struggle with structure, transparency, and efficiency in test planning. Yet a standard-compliant Design Verification Plan (DVP) is critical to project success.

  • Lack of a systematic approach: Test planning and execution are often uncoordinated or carried out in parallel using different tools.
  • Incomplete traceability: End-to-end traceability between requirements, specifications, and test results is not consistently ensured.
  • High coordination effort: Without a central platform, collaboration between development and testing teams is time-consuming - especially when changes occur.
  • Media breaks in the process: Information from FMEA or risk analyses must often be transferred manually, increasing effort and risk.
  • Increased documentation workload: Customers require fully traceable test plans, which are costly and slow to create manually.
  • Limited transparency: The current verification status is often not immediately visible to all project stakeholders.

Without an integrated solution, the risk of costly development failures, delayed approvals, and insufficient standard-compliance increases significantly. The consequences can include additional effort and costs, lost customers or suppliers, missing regression security, and ultimately serious damage to your company’s reputation.

Solution

Your path to efficient design verification

With our DVP&R tool, you can plan your tests in a structured manner and document the results seamlessly. Your design will thus meet both internal requirements and standards such as ISO 26262.

  • Uniform test plan: Document all relevant tests - from the initial concept to the final report - centrally and in compliance with standards.
  • Automated linking: Requirements, functions, and risk assessments are automatically imported from the FMEA or hazard analysis.
  • Clear responsibilities: Define responsibilities, time frames, and acceptance criteria for each test task.
  • Real-time transparency: All project participants can see the current status of the design verification at any time.
  • Customer-compliant reports: With templates tailored precisely to your customer specifications, you can provide test reports at the touch of a button.
  • Flexible adaptability: The modular system can be adapted to your way of working and supports individual forms and calculations.

Our design verification software seamlessly integrates test planning into your development process—enabling transparent implementation, efficient control, and audit-ready documentation.
