- HIL testing is a technique where real signals from a controller are connected to a test system that simulates reality, tricking the controller into thinking it is in the assembled product. Test and design iteration take place as though the real-world system is being used. You can easily run through thousands of possible scenarios to properly exercise your controller without the cost and time associated with actual physical tests.
- Again, consider a car. The engine ECU is responsible for converting sensor measurements into action such as adjusting air intake when the accelerator is depressed.
