Enabling global engineering teams with on‑demand remote access to shared hardware setups – from development boards to full‑scale complex HIL farms. vHaaS centralizes physical test assets into one remotely accessible service and integrates seamlessly into modern CI/CD workflows.
vHaaS in Practice
vHaaS brings all physical test assets – hardware setups, peripherals, power controls, and execution environments – into a unified service. Engineers reserve the hardware they need, connect to the execution environment, perform manual or automated tests, and rely on automatic cleanup and power handling afterward.
Key Benefits at a Glance
- Global, remote access to vendor independent hardware execution environments for development, testing, and debugging.
- Optimized hardware utilization through shared access and efficient scheduling.
- Improved collaboration across geographically distributed engineering teams. Easily manage access rights across users, teams, departments and organizations.
- Integrated CI/CD support enables hardware based testing within modern automation pipelines.
- Hardware hosting at Vector – Managed HIL farm on neutral ground for collaboration with partners and end customers.
- Remote management of the power sequence, power consumption of distributed hardware setups. Vectorʼs new Hardware Automation Interface (HAI) device especially built for vHaaS can be optionally used.
Optimize Your Testing with this Optional Hardware Add‑On
HAI – purpose built for vHaaS can be optionally used to handle power management, real time monitoring and several other advanced features that support efficient verification with the hardware setup.
- Remote power control of up to 10 devices
- Peripheral Expansion Board to add additional devices
- Multiplexing Expansion Board to handle hardware variants
- Native support for CANoe and vTESTstudio

TASKING
TASKING presents its integrated toolchain with compilers, advanced debugging, and timing analysis based on MICROSAR Classic. The demos highlight functional safety and security, chip/OS‑aware debugging with automation, and timing/trace features integrated into Vector’s TA.ToolSuite. A key highlight is the integration into Vector’s Remote Development Environment for efficient, collaborative remote development.
Pico Technology
As software development increasingly relies on virtualization, Vector and Pico Technology have partnered to bridge the gap when you need to test directly on hardware. Together with Vector's Hardware-as-a-Service (vHaaS) cloud platform and PicoScope oscilloscopes for physical-layer measurement and decoding of more than 40 serial protocols including CAN XL and Automotive Ethernet, we connect virtual development with real-world validation.
