How Continuous Testing Helps OEMs Navigate UNECE R155/156 Discover how continuous testing helps OEMs meet UNECE R155/156 compliance with automated testing, robust OTA updates, and long-term software maintainability.

You can’t treat UNECE R155/156 like a checkbox. It’s a long-term software commitment.

In this blog post, Laurence Urhegyi details the benefits that come when OEMs treat software as a first-class, long-term responsibility. www.codethink.co.uk/articles/con...
