Safety, availability, and cost considerations can make performing thorough tests on embedded control devices impractical. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, is a real-time test technique that can be used to test embedded devices more thoroughly.
During an HIL test, the physical system interfaces to an embedded control devices simulated on real-time hardware. The outputs of the simulator mimic the actual output of the physical system.
