MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Oct. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) today announced it has
completed its acquisition of QTronic GmbH, a leader in
simulation, test tools, and services for automotive software and
systems development headquartered in Germany.
The rapid growth of software used in vehicles, combined with the
complex interaction of hardware, creates an enormous challenge for
automobile manufacturers and their suppliers developing future
powertrain, advanced driver assistance, electric vehicles, and
autonomous driving systems. To address these challenges, automotive
companies are deploying virtual development and test environments
to enable software development to start earlier and accelerate
continuous integration and test for over-the-air updates. As noted
by a McKinsey and Company article titled Testing and validation:
From hardware focus to full virtualization?, "We expect that
capabilities of virtual tools for simulation will continue to
increase in the next years. It is critical for companies to
leverage this development in order to succeed on the path toward
prototype-free development and especially on the path toward a more
feature-oriented development world1."
QTronic simulation and test tools will accelerate Synopsys
delivery of a comprehensive automotive virtual prototyping solution
for system and software development throughout the automotive
electronic supply chain.
The terms of the deal, which are not material to Synopsys
financials, are not being disclosed.
