Summary

Electronics content in the car is constantly growing. On top of traditional applications for engine control, transmission, braking/steering, passive safety, body and dashboard also multimedia, advanced driver assistance and car2X segments are rapidly growing. The stability and extended duration in manufacturing of these components make them very attractive for the industry. Extreme product quality achieved with very low cost is the key challenge. The tutorial covers a broad range of topics which are defining the testability and advanced topics like testing of safety critical and secure devices. Relevant industrial cases will be proposed to participants.
