The number of products with embedded software increases across all application areas continuously. Thus, the complexity between the hardware and software is steadily increasing. This leads to an increment of software defects. Therefore, new approaches are needed to ensure the product quality. In the context of PLM, virtualization can support crucial stages of the product development and test automation by providing virtual environments. This paper shows an architectural approach, and how to perform an integration of virtualization software in PDM systems.
