Validation of SDVs Begins with the First Line of Code

Interview With Dr. Matthias Traub, Managing Director, and Jan Linnebacher, Director Business Development

This interview examines why validation must start earlier and how speed, quality, and scalability can be balanced. It also highlights how CANoe is evolving from a validation tool into an open platform for the SDV era.
