Automotive profitability is under siege. Competitive pressures, escalating regulatory demands, and the soaring complexity and cost of software development are squeezing margins like never before. Meanwhile, the race toward software-defined vehicles and accelerated time to market leaves no room for inefficiency.
This 30-minute executive briefing introduces a new strategic lens: treating virtual integration and continuous verification not merely as technical necessities but as business-critical enablers. Discover how early virtualization, system-level automation, and test reuse can unlock efficiencies, reduce R&D overhead, and protect the bottom line. An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
What attendees will learn:
- Align regulatory compliance with cost-effective test strategies
- Accelerate SOP timelines through simulation-first validation
- Reduce R&D costs while improving software quality
- Quantify and mitigate SOP delays and associated EBIT loss
Key takeaways:
- Why traditional testing silently erodes contribution margins
- How virtualization and automation drive speed and savings
- The critical link between integration strategy and SOP risk
- A practical blueprint to cut test costs without sacrificing quality
- Why test infrastructure is now a boardroom-level concern
