- Hardware Design | Altium for schematic and layout development.
- Simulation | IBM Rational Rhapsody.
- Testing | JIRA and Python for test scripts.
- Project Management Tools | Kanboard, Gitlab, Bitbucket.
Client Benefit
- Increased profitability due to reduced BOM.
- Modular and maintainable codebase with proper documentation which was not available earlier.
- Faster Time to market for product as the product used Rhapsody Model driven development tool for automatic code generation.
- Also due to Rhapsody the code had very less bugs as the code was auto-generated.
- Complete Testing automation of the application code so reduced time for testing.
- Reduced maintenance costs for all the multi-variant product as there is a single codebase.
