Why Hardware- in- the- Loop Should Be on Every Engineering Manager’s Mind

How can product engineers keep up with today’s rapidly changing advancements to ensure the products they make are safe to use and built to last?

Engineers in numerous industries are turning to hardware- in- the- loop (HIL) as an improved strategy to test the increasing amount of embedded software in existing hardware designs. In recent years, HIL has extended its reach into a range of uses due to the growth of embedded software and system-level designs along with the ever-present push for greater reliability.

By implementing HIL as a strategy, engineers can reduce cost of test and improve test coverage by better simulating cycles throughout a product’s lifespan, resulting in higher quality output to the customer.
