Welcome to CANoe, the versatile software solution for the development, simulation, analysis and test of individual software components or subsystems as well as electronic control units (ECUs) and entire distributed networks.
Whenever you are dealing with distributed systems – whether in the automotive industry or related industries, medical technology, aerospace, or in industrial automation – CANoe products are reliable throughout the entire development process from planning to system testing.
This applies to both SIL and HIL, allowing you to switch seamlessly:
> Software-in-the-Loop: in virtual execution environments on the computer, in virtual machines, or in the cloud
> Hardware-in-the-Loop: on prototype hardware or real target hardware
Advantages
CANoe provides tools for developing and testing distributed embedded systems across a wide range of industries.
Its extensive functionality and configuration capabilities are highly valued by users worldwide.
- One universal tool for all development and test tasks – whether in a SIL or HIL context
- Easy automated testing with consistently reusable test runs in all development phases
- Simulation of error situations early in the development process to easily identify and correct problems
- User-friendly graphical and text-based evaluation of results
- Independence from hardware and other software components – ideal for CI/CT environments right from project start
- Comprehensive capabilities for simulating and testing special applications such as automotive ECU diagnostics

Selected Features for Complex Systems and Workflows
AI and MCP Workflows | NEW
AI agents execute tasks autonomously, identify relevant results and guide you through the next steps. This reduces manual effort and shortens development cycles.
Extended Real Time
Extended Real Time (ERT) supports you in simulations that must be executed under hard realtime conditions.
Interfaces, APIs and Tool Integrations
Many interfaces and tool coupling options for special tools in complex, heterogeneous tool environments.
OEM-Specific Extensions
These simulation extensions are composed of several components. The components are typically based on a standard and are extended with OEM-specific add-ons.
Simulating and Testing of SDC Participants | NEW
Service-oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) is the standard for interoperability in modern medical environments. With the new SDC add-on, you can easily simulate and test SDC participants as well as distributed SDC use cases and SDC applications.
Software-in-the-Loop
CANoe supports the development, testing, and analysis of software in cyber-physical systems, including individual components and entire systems. It offers virtual execution environments for Windows and Linux, running on computers, VMs, or Docker containers in the cloud.
Testing of Security-Protected ECUs and Networks
Our Security Manager offers testing services for automotive ECUs despite security protection. It is the link between CANoe and additional Vector tools and the OEM-specific security implementation. With it, security functions can be used uniformly in the tools.
