About Us

Experience drives innovation.

As a long-standing service provider for embedded software development in the medical technology, automation technology and automotive sectors, we have recognized recurring challenges of our customers

slow test cycles, error-prone manual tests
time-consuming setup and maintenance of own test solutions
Lack of standardization makes team collaboration and the reusability of solutions difficult
high complexity of proprietary test equipment or use of expensive HIL/SIL systems

Our product

Connecting Hardware, Management and Automation

Test automation & CI/CD integration

Test scripts can be easily created, automated, and integrated into existing CI/CD pipelines. Seamless integration with systems such as GitLab, Jenkins, and others creates scalable and reproducible test environments – from development to production.

Hardware-related interface connection

XPressRT enables easy connection of interfaces directly to embedded or PC hardware. This turns every software component or hardware unit into an individually controllable test device – without the need for costly HIL systems.

Real-time simulation & configurable test behavior

Whether synchronous or asynchronous, after interface integration, the behavior and response of the test environment can be flexibly defined. Proprietary or standardized protocols can be simulated directly at the interface via configurations – without constant compilation. This significantly accelerates test development and remains flexibly adaptable.

Intelligent error analysis & debugging

Log and trace data are evaluated in real time. Test results can be saved, compared, and analyzed. Comprehensive reports facilitate troubleshooting and enable a deeper understanding of the root causes.

Scalable & Reusable

XPressRT is platform-independent and integrates into existing development and production environments – locally or remotely. Existing hardware remains usable. Tests already developed can be easily deployed in different environments such as SIL, HIL, or production.

User-friendly & easy to understand

Tests are described using Gherkin syntax – an easy-to-understand language accessible to all project participants. The clear structure promotes team collaboration, reduces misunderstandings, and accelerates test development. The process is supported by comprehensive documentation and assistance systems for maximum efficiency.

Our advantages

Benefits that make the difference

With XPressRT, significantly fewer man-hours are required to set up the test environment and develop automated tests. At the same time, costs for dedicated test equipment are eliminated, as tests can be performed independently of physical hardware.
Using Gherkin scripts simplifies test development and shortens review processes. The clear, text-based syntax simplifies communication between development and business departments, reduces queries, and increases collaboration efficiency. Coordination occurs more quickly because everyone involved has a common understanding – this saves time and enables earlier detection of deviations and problems.
The test environment can be easily transferred and reused across other projects, ensuring greater efficiency and predictability in development processes. Comprehensive reports provide the ideal starting point for efficiently identifying hardware and program errors. Log data can be analyzed to easily determine the causes and sources of errors.
