How Test Teams Can Prepare for Emerging Technologies

As the world swiftly embraces the future of technology across industries, test teams find themselves at the forefront of ensuring reliability and safety. The surge of electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs) is reshaping the transportation landscape, introducing revolutionary innovations like electric trucks, driverless taxis, and bidirectional charging. Plus, IoT and other product enhancements in electronics have exploded features for consumers. But as these new technologies emerge, the challenges for test teams multiply.

In this month's edition of The Edge, join an enlightening conversation with industry leaders about the future of EVs and AVs. In addition, uncover the pivotal role of a connected test strategy in a rapidly evolving technological landscape, where the inefficiencies of legacy testing systems become glaringly evident. Join us as we chart the path forward, highlighting the essential tools and strategies to prepare test teams for tomorrow's challenges.

All Roads Lead to Innovation: What's Ahead for EVs and AVs

EV and AV adoption is rising globally, with no signs of slowing down. As power companies and government agencies continue experimenting with new technologies, charging capabilities, and software improvements, new lanes are opening up for the impact of EVs and AVs worldwide. Electric trucks, bidirectional charging, driverless taxis, and more are expanding possibilities for manufacturers and consumers, alike.

NI's Rob Harris sat down with Tech Brew to discuss how software-defined vehicles are not only changing how automakers design, test, and manufacture cars, but also the critical role test plays in getting reliable software-defined vehicles to the masses. New York Power Authority and General Motors also join to discuss the future of EVs and electric grid systems and take a look at how companies are redefining transportation with expanded vehicle possibilities. This is the future of the automotive industry. Watch the free on-demand recording now.

Why a Connected Strategy Matters to Future-Proof Test Teams

As technology in all industries quickly evolves, an optimized test strategy is essential to handling increased product complexity and shrinking time-to-market windows. With many products driven by IoT, a scalable, interconnected test strategy is the only way to keep up. Legacy testing systems, often being decentralized and fragmented, can inhibit growth.

See how a software-connected approach to test can reshape collaboration and why standardization could be the secret sauce to operational efficiency. Let's unpack the intricacies of test structures, the hurdles of integrating disparate systems, and the pitfalls of clinging to outdated legacy operations. And explore the complexities of the decision-making process when choosing between building a bespoke solution or buying an industry-standard system. Read now.
