Why XPressRT?

In theory, it is clear that in safety-critical projects, developed software must be regularly tested on the target platform to avoid costly errors. In reality, however, limited resources and expensive, constrained test environments often hinder comprehensive, development-integrated testing and the rapid, easy resolution of issues.

XPressRT provides a solution. The framework enables developers to create traceable HIL, SIL, and GUI tests on a single platform. New features can be tested at any time in a simulated environment, with tests running locally, in a pipeline, or directly within the development process.

Instead of relying on complete control units, power components, or manual testers, relevant processes are replicated through hardware- and software-based simulations. This allows adjustments to be evaluated safely without blocking lab setups or risking expensive electronics.

Highly demanding or safety-critical scenarios, such as those in medical technology, robotics, or the automotive sector, benefit particularly from this approach. Test cases are linked to requirements, reproducible, and fully automatable.

XPressRT brings embedded testing exactly where it belongs: directly into the development workflow.

How It Works

In development projects, the requirements for the System under Test (SUT) are managed in a centralized requirements platform. To ensure functionality and functional safety, these requirements must be tested in a targeted manner.

Through XPressRT’s intuitive user interface, test cases can be synchronized with platforms such as Azure DevOps, JAMA, or RTM. Within the UI, test cases are linked to executable steps to create model- or data-driven simulations.

The XPressRT Server connects the UI to the test equipment. Users can choose between using XPressRT hardware, various extensions, or a combination of both.

This approach allows the SUT to be tested flexibly, development-integrated, and in a realistic environment.

Getting Started with XPressRT

First, the cross-platform XPressRT server application is launched on a PC or test workstation. The server automatically connects via UART or TCP to the XPressRT hardware and any desired extension modules.

Creating Test Scenarios Made Easy
Within the user interface, a collection of test scenarios is created for each product feature. Each scenario describes the steps of a test case in clear, Gherkin-based language. The UI supports the creation of reusable test steps, links to requirements, and guides users from specification to parameterization.

Automated Test Logic with Python
For each test step, a corresponding Python function is automatically generated in the background. These functions are populated using API calls. The API enables:

The creation of model- or data-driven simulations to determine the behavior of the test equipment relative to the System under Test (SUT) step by step
Automated evaluation of analog and digital signals, as well as communication processes

Monitoring and Recording Test Runs
XPressRT is fully compatible with Foxglove Studio, allowing every test run to be visualized and recorded in real time. Manual interventions for simple signal generation and communication with the SUT are also possible.

Automatic Reporting and Data Analysis
For each test scenario, human- and machine-readable reports are automatically generated. Signal or communication errors are displayed in tables and graphs. All data generated during the test run is recorded and can be played back and analyzed in Foxglove Studio even after the test has concluded.
