March was a busy month: With three events tracetronic was on the road internationally—from Karlsruhe to Goyang near Seoul and on to Zurich. The focus: engaging with industry experts, gaining new impulses, and sharing practical insights into modern development approaches.

The kickoff was on March 17 at the Open House of our partner IPG Automotive in Karlsruhe. Under the theme “Seamless Virtual Development: Intelligent Testing Across All Stages,” industry professionals came together to discuss end-to-end virtual development processes. Together with IPG, we presented our latest white paper and demonstrated how the combination of VIRTO as the semantic foundation and our platform one:cx enables a seamless validation ecosystem. The key question: What if you had to release tomorrow? That’s exactly where we come in—driving the elimination of tool and data silos.

Right after that, we continued internationally. From March 18–20, our Korea team was at the Automotive Testing Expo Korea—one of the leading industry hubs for testing, development, and validation technologies. The event couldn’t have gone better: strong interest in our platform one:cx, in-depth discussions on more efficient testing processes, and many valuable conversations about the future of test automation. Once again, one thing became clear: the demand for end-to-end, scalable solutions is growing worldwide.

To close out the month, Swiss Testing Day on March 26 in Zurich brought together experts from development and testing to discuss quality and trust in an increasingly AI-driven world. In his presentation, our colleague Jan Georges shared how the SiL-first approach has become a success factor at Mercedes AMG. The key message: software must be tested earlier—independent of hardware availability. By intelligently linking software-in-the-loop, automation, and requirements, feedback cycles are created that shorten development times and ensure quality at an early stage.

Three events, countless conversations, one clear trend: The future of vehicle development is connected, software-driven—and unthinkable without end-to-end testing solutions.
