Within the XIVT project, a method and toolchain will be defined for testing highly configurable, variant-rich embedded systems. This will enable a highly effective, cost-efficient quality assurance, allowing the shift to autonomous, flexible and adaptive applications. The method is founded on a knowledge-based analysis of requirements. It is expected that XIVT methods will result in higher test coverage, more flexible processes of higher quality and better products.

The innovation project aims to bring a Smart City backend solution to market by testing and extending it within the two FIRE facilities FUESCO Playground in Germany (using the standard compliant OpenMTC framework) and the FIT IoT-Lab in France (using a wide range of programmable sensors).
