NI 2019 IoT/5G/Autonomous Driving Trend Outlook Report is released (with download link)

On November 13, 2018, NI (National Instruments, referred to as NI) released the NI Trend Outlook Report 2019. The report explores the key engineering trends and challenges facing the rapid development of technology, including the Internet of Things (IoT) , the advancement of 5G technology from prototype verification to commercial deployment , and mass autonomous driving .

“These engineering trends are disrupting traditional industries and product testing, creating unprecedented complex challenges,” said Shelley Gretlein, vice president of global marketing at NI. “However, this is also driving innovation and prompting us to fundamentally transform our approach to automated test and automated measurement, making a critical shift toward software-defined systems.”

The NI Trend Outlook Report 2019 will delve into the following topics, dedicated to providing forward-looking information for automated test and automated measurement companies to help them fully prepare for the rapidly advancing future technologies.

5G ushers in a new era of wireless testing: 5G wireless devices are becoming increasingly complex. Engineers must rethink the highly optimized test techniques used to test previous generations of wireless devices to ensure the commercial viability of 5G products and solutions.

The trade-offs required to achieve safe autonomous driving are imminent: Autonomous driving will have a significant societal impact, but the trade-offs between cost, technology, and strategy in the transition from single-sensor to multi-sensor advanced driver assistance systems are imminent.

Keep up with the trend of standardized development processes: Test engineers are leveraging old trends to keep up with the rapidly modernizing test environment. They need to standardize not only hardware and software, but also the process of building and maintaining the test architecture.

Optimize system testing with the help of the Internet of Things: The Internet of Things has increased the complexity of equipment, which in turn has increased the complexity of testing, but it can greatly improve the efficiency of automated testing.

Multi-industry convergence subverts traditional testing strategies: Convergence is expected to accelerate innovation and provide unprecedented products, but it also makes testing increasingly complex. Cross-industry cooperation and learning provide useful perspectives on complex testing challenges.
