Abstract The automotive industry is currently driven by three major trends - electrification, automation and connectivity [1]. These lead to an increasing complexity of the overall system and more interaction of the subsystems. In addition, there is a progressive shift from development tasks to suppliers, which goes hand in hand with parallel development of the subsystem. To cope with the challenges described above, development tasks should be frontloaded to earlier stages, while simultaneously maintaining the system context. This applies in particular to the validation activities. Validation is the central activity in the development process, since only in validation knowledge evolves [2]. As depicted in the following figure 1 engineers can choose from a broad landscape of validation environments, reaching from pure simulation to component testbeds to on-road testing. With the increasing share of physical components costs for validation typically rise. But also accuracy rises because modeling errors can be eliminated by replacing simulation modules with physical components. However, reproducibility and flexibility decrease due to the effort it takes to modify a physical setup in comparison to a parametrized model [3].
