Verification & Validation

Automated Test Plan Generation

Learn how to use Saphira to automatically generate comprehensive verification and validation test plans for your safety functions! Saphira’s validation capabilities support complete CE Mark Technical File preparation and UL Mark certification requirements.

Generate Test Plans

Create Test Plans

From the Table or Trace Graph views, select any Control Measure or Safety Function and click the “Create Test Plan” button on the Tests tab. Saphira will automatically generate comprehensive verification and validation test plans.

Standards-Based Testing

Test plans are automatically aligned with relevant standards and regulations, ensuring your verification activities meet compliance requirements for your specific industry and application.

Test Plan Components

Test Case Generation

Saphira automatically generates detailed test cases including:

Test ID and requirement references
Detailed test descriptions and procedures
Expected results and acceptance criteria
Safety/security classification (ASIL level if applicable)
Test methods (analysis, review, simulation, testing)

Verification Code Templates

For critical test cases, Saphira provides:

Executable code templates for automated testing
Industry-standard testing frameworks
Parameterized testing for multiple scenarios
Complete test functions with assertions
Well-commented, production-ready code
