The HIL and Real-Time Test Software Suite is a collection of software for validating embedded software and running model-based physical tests.

The HIL and Real-Time Test Software Suite combines the LabVIEW integrated development environment (IDE) with application software and modules to create real-time test applications. With this suite, you can develop simulation models and control algorithms and deploy them to real-time hardware. You also can ensure that your test system is flexible enough to meet nearly any application requirement by adding custom functionality and can perform high-speed simulation and processing on NI reconfigurable I/O hardware.

HIL technology is able to reduce costs and provide the best quality product. It reduces costs by moving functional tests away from test drives and test benches to the HIL laboratory—which is much cheaper to maintain. Additionally, it will minimize the testing time needed for costly prototypes or test benches. Another benefit of using an HIL lab would be that all of the testing could be repeated as many times as necessary; this also means that it would be much easier to automate—which might not be the case with real-world prototypes. The labs would also facilitate the testing of real-life situations that could be far too dangerous to perform with a prototype, such as sudden braking tests from high speeds. The HIL lab is able to create test environment conditions that are so realistic and exact that an ECU would not be able to differentiate between a simulated environment and real-world conditions since it is possible to create the exact same electrical response that is expected by the ECU. Having a system where we can precisely control the electrical response allows us to artificially introduce any type of sensor failure that might be hard to reproduce under normal conditions—further expanding on the number of test conditions we are able to test for.
