Determination and Implementation of Testing and Validation Strategy

The functional safety process is not just about analysis and design deliverables. One of the most critical steps that ISO 26262 emphasizes is the testing and verification activities that prove whether the developed systems actually meet the defined safety objectives.

Optival both determines and supports the effective implementation of test and verification strategies in accordance with functional safety requirements.

Strategy Development

Taking into account project objectives, ASIL levels and system architecture:

  • Safety requirements and test cases are matched,
  • The types of tests (unit test, integration test, HW/SW interface test, fault injection etc.) to be applied at system, hardware and software levels are determined,
  • Verification Plan and test strategy document are created,

Each strategy is structured so that it is directly linked to the safety plan and traceable to work products.

Conclusion Proving Safety

Through the testing and validation process:

  • The effectiveness of the safety concept is objectively demonstrated,
  • The certification process creates valid and traceable work products that are ready to use,
  • Continuous improvement is supported by providing a feedback loop for development teams.
