Awarded by TÜV SÜD this certification ensures that the platform meets the strict safety and reliability standards required for developing automotive systems and reinforces its commitment to supporting innovation within the automotive industry.
Perforce Helix Core is a version control platform used by automotive OEMs and suppliers – as well as semiconductor firms, embedded systems developers, and top gaming and media studios.
ISO 26262 is an international functional safety standard for the development of electrical and electronic systems, including hardware and software components, for road vehicles. By certifying its version control platform is ISO 26262 compliant, Perforce can make this critical solution available to all organisations that need to prove compliance with the highest safety, quality, and reliability standards.
“With the transition to software-defined vehicles and the rise of autonomy, automotive OEMs and suppliers are revolutionising their development pipeline with modern tools that accelerate innovation, yet safety remains paramount,” said Brad Hart, CTO and VP of Product Management at Perforce. “Helix Core offers a modern alternative to legacy tools that can no longer meet the demands of fast-paced software- and design-driven automotive development. For large, cross-functional, globally distributed teams, Helix Core can deliver the speed, scale, and security necessary to manage all digital assets, including binary code and large game engine/3D files.”
Perforce’s 2024 State of Game Technology survey found that 50% of respondents are using game engines outside of traditional game development, such as in the creation of digital twins of vehicles which can enhance vehicle safety in many ways, from virtual crash tests to using simulated driving scenarios to more efficiently train Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
With Helix Core serving as the foundation to effectively leverage this technology, achieving the ISO 26262 Functional Safety Process Certification means that Perforce can offer now offer a platform that combines cutting edge innovation with the highest levels of automotive safety.
