Automotive & Mobility
Accelerate Software-Defined Vehicle Development.
End-to-end toolchains for ADAS, powertrain, body electronics, and connected vehicle platforms, with functional safety and cybersecurity built in.
The automotive industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by electrification, connectivity, and autonomous driving. Software now defines vehicle capability, with modern cars running over 100 million lines of code across dozens of Electronic Control Units. GSAS provides the complete embedded development toolchain that automotive engineering teams need to build, test, and certify software-defined vehicle platforms.
Our curated portfolio addresses every stage of the automotive V-model, from requirements and architecture through unit testing, integration, and production deployment. Klocwork and Helix QAC deliver MISRA and AUTOSAR compliance analysis for ISO 26262, while TESSY by Razorcat provides automated unit testing with MC/DC coverage measurement qualified for ASIL D. J-Link PRO and PicoScope enable deep hardware-software integration debugging across CAN, LIN, and FlexRay networks.
With UNECE R155/R156 and the EU Cyber Resilience Act reshaping the regulatory landscape, cybersecurity is no longer optional. GSAS partners with Perforce (Klocwork, Helix QAC) to deliver static analysis, vulnerability management, and AUTOSAR-compliant development environments that meet both safety and security mandates from day one.

Test Case Design with the Classification Tree Method: Deriving Unit Tests You Can Defend in an Audit
Ad-hoc test cases can be perfectly good tests and still fail an audit, because nothing on file records why that particular set was sufficient. The Classification Tree Method derives test cases from the input space instead: identify the test-relevant aspects as classifications, partition each into equivalence classes, then combine leaf classes in a combination table. Razorcat implements CTM in the Classification Tree Editor, available integrated into TESSY or standalone. GSAS Micro Systems is the authorized Razorcat engineering partner for India, the UAE and Sri Lanka.
Fault Injection and Robustness Testing for Embedded Software: What ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and DO-178C Actually Ask For
Every safety-related unit contains code that correct inputs never execute: range checks, error returns, timeouts, recovery paths. The functional safety standards require that code to be verified, and they are explicit about how. ISO 26262-6 lists fault injection test as a method for both software unit verification and software integration verification; IEC 61508-3 recommends defensive programming from SIL 2 upward and then concedes that defensive code is exactly what stops teams reaching 100 percent structural coverage. This guide separates robustness testing from fault injection, maps each to the obligation that asks for it, and shows how Razorcat implements automated fault injection in TESSY without leaving instrumentation in production code.
How to Evaluate a Unit Testing Tool for Embedded Software: A Buyer's Framework for Indian Teams
Unit test tool evaluations rarely fail on features. They fail because the tool cannot drive the compiler and debugger the project is already committed to, or because the evidence it produces sits outside the scope of the certificate the assessor asks for. This is a buyer-side framework: six questions, what a credible answer looks like in vendor documentation, and a four-week pilot that measures the answers instead of accepting them.
Is 100% Code Coverage Enough? Statement, Branch, MC/DC and MCC, and What Each One Proves
No. A coverage percentage records which code your tests executed, not whether your tests would notice if that code were wrong. This guide defines statement, branch, decision, condition/decision, MC/DC and multiple condition coverage precisely, sets out what 100% of each does and does not prove, shows what ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and DO-178 ask for alongside coverage, and explains the three things to add: requirements traceability, fault-based testing and robustness cases.
Automated Mutation Testing for Embedded C: The Question MC/DC Coverage Cannot Answer
Structural coverage tells you a line was executed. It does not tell you that a defect in that line would have been caught. Mutation testing closes that gap by seeding small faults into the code, re-running the suite, and counting how many the suite kills. This guide covers mutation operators, the mutation score, the equivalent-mutant problem and cost control, and where seeded faults already sit inside IEC 61508-3. GSAS Micro Systems is the authorized Razorcat engineering partner for India, the UAE and Sri Lanka.
Test Case Quality in Embedded Unit Testing: Why Test Counts and Coverage Are Weak Proxies
Counting test cases and reporting a coverage percentage tells you what your tests touched, not what they would have caught. NASA's tutorial on modified condition/decision coverage puts it directly: coverage is a measure, not a method or a test. A good unit test case traces to a requirement, carries an expected result predicted from the specification, draws its inputs from equivalence classes and boundary values, and stays independent of how the code happens to be written. This guide sets out those four properties, shows how coverage-adequate suites still miss defects, and maps them to ISO 26262 Part 6, DO-178C and IEC 61508 expectations for requirements-based testing.
From Evaluation Licence to Production Licence: How Embedded Unit Test Tool Licensing Actually Works in India
A unit test tool licence is not paperwork at the end of an evaluation, it is a project constraint. Razorcat's own License Management Guide documents the whole arc for TESSY: an evaluation key issued against one host Id and delivered the next working day, a Floating License Server reached over a single TCP port, offline checkouts capped at 3 days by default and 30 as the built-in maximum that cannot be given back, access control lists and usage logging for seat planning, and a separate Continuous Integration licence that the TESSY IDE cannot use. This guide walks that arc and then the part no vendor manual covers: getting the purchase order through GeM, SAP Ariba, Coupa or TReDS.
Unit Testing Fundamentals for Embedded C and C++: Units, Interfaces, Test Drivers, Stubs and What the Safety Standards Demand
In C a unit is a single function. In C++ it is a method, and a method cannot be called without an object. Everything else in unit testing follows from that: the interface is what the unit reads and what it writes, a test driver supplies the startup code and the call, and stubs replace the units around it so the result depends on the unit alone. Razorcat's published TESSY documentation, IEC 61508-3 and the airworthiness authorities all describe the same discipline, and the functional safety standards write it as normative text rather than advice.
The Complete AUTOSAR Verification Chain: AUTOSAR C++14 Static Analysis with Helix QAC, SWC and RTE Testing with TESSY 6
AUTOSAR software component code carries two separate proof burdens: coding-standard compliance across every execution path, and correct runtime behaviour through the RTE. Static analysis and dynamic testing answer different audit questions, so most ISO 26262 evidence packages need both. This guide walks the chain end to end: AUTOSAR C++14 and MISRA analysis with Perforce Helix QAC or Klocwork, then ARXML-driven SWC and RTE testing in Razorcat TESSY 6, then coverage evidence. GSAS Micro Systems is the India engineering partner for both Perforce and Razorcat.

Debugging Automotive CAN, CAN-FD and LIN with Saleae Logic 2: A Bench Workflow for Indian ECU Teams
The protocols on every automotive ECU bench in India, CAN, CAN-FD and LIN, debugged the right way with Saleae Logic 2. Where to probe, how to decode, and the single-ended caveat clone sellers never explain.
SWD & JTAG Debug-Port Isolation Explained: Protecting Your Probe, PC & Engineers (SEGGER J-Link, Flasher & J-Trace Isolators)
Plugging a USB-grounded debug probe into a motor drive, inverter, or high-voltage battery board can destroy the probe, fry your laptop's USB controller, or expose an engineer to a hazardous potential. Here is how SWD/JTAG debug-port isolation actually works, why SEGGER ships separate target-side and host-side isolators, and how Indian power-electronics, EV, and industrial teams should specify them, with verified specs only.
