Innovative Ways to Shorten System Level Simulation Integration Time

Accomplishing enterprise integration requires attainable technology innovation, engineering vision, and integration planning.An integration plan that accounts for tools and methods to address integration in all phases of the lifecycle from product to system to enterprise integration, mitigates integration risk, decreases integration cost and schedule, and provides insight into the state of the integration effort.Integration combines individually tested components into an integrated whole.Product and system integration typically appears between component development and integration testing toward the end of the development build cycle.A continuous integration plan and the right tools offers a cost effective component and system integration approach as they are developed into working enterprise versions.Integration becomes a normal sequence of incremental builds yielding results successively closer to the desired product at the software, system or enterprise level.All stakeholders benefit by seeing working integrated products early in the lifecycle to verify performance and significantly decreased integration risk.The Valepro Team proposes a multi-level solution that: (1) uses tools architected for the scale required for all levels of integration and (2) provides methods needed for integration from the lowest level, one-on-one software integration, to the highest level of enterprise integration of many systems across multiple organizations.
