Hardware-in-the-Loop
An embedded systems testing methodology originating in the aerospace and automotive electronics industries. It integrates real physical hardware into the test loop so that the system under test operates with actual signals and timing, exposing issues that are difficult to reproduce through purely software-based simulation.

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) is a classic embedded systems testing methodology that originated in the aerospace and automotive electronics industries.
Traditional HIL test benches typically require specialized test equipment (such as dSPACE and NI PXI), are costly, and are primarily used during the product validation phase.
Real hardware-in-the-loop testing cannot be parallelized infinitely like pure software, and test throughput is limited by the number of physical boards available.
