Validas AG is a proud NVIDIA Ecosystem partner. Validas helps NVIDIA DRIVE developers targeting production to accelerate safety-critical projects with pre-qualified software components and tools.

Validas AG is proud to be a Contributing Member of the Eclipse Foundation, joining a global network committed to driving open-source collaboration and innovation. Through this partnership, Validas supports Eclipse S-CORE—a strategic initiative aimed at transforming the automotive industry with a standardized, modular software platform for Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs). As part of its contribution, Validas focuses on the safety evaluation of key tools such as Bazel and Google Test, reinforcing efforts to ensure reliability and safety in next-generation automotive software.

Validas AG is a part of the pre-competitive research project CONTROL, bringing together 24 partners from industry and academia – including OEMs, suppliers for road and rail, universities, and research institutions. Supported by the VDA initiative for autonomous and connected driving, the consortium project is scheduled for 36 months and funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.

Over the next three years, CONTROL will develop innovative methods to safeguard autonomous vehicles as part of a dynamic road and rail ecosystem. Central to this effort is creating a cross-domain safety argumentation that systematically captures, assesses, and controls operational uncertainties and integrates them into the architecture of autonomous systems.

A world built on code needs Confidence by Design

Since Amsterdam’s earliest days, its buildings have stood on deep foundation piles - driven through clay and peat to reach solid sand. At Solid Sands, we take the same approach to software reliability.

Our mission is to ensure that safety-critical software is built on a solid foundation.

Our world runs on code, powering everything from medical robotics and autonomous vehicles to aerospace systems and railway networks. But software is only as strong as the trust behind it.

That’s why we created SuperTestTM and SuperGuardTM, the world’s most rigorous compiler validation and library test suites. By eliminating uncertainty and ensuring quality, we give our clients more than just testing tools — we give them Confidence by Design.
