Profilence Information

Complex software products bring together hardware and software from multiple suppliers. Each part can work as intended, while the complete product can still behave in unexpected ways. Some problems appear immediately; others emerge only through extended use. Profilence provides independent evidence of how the complete product behaves, with particular depth in long-term stability, performance and resource usage. At engineering level, we work from observed behaviour towards the underlying mechanism and what can be changed in the software. At product level, the same evidence shows how problems develop through extended use and puts their severity into the context of real use. This extends beyond the questions conventional QA is typically designed to answer. Profilence's proprietary, patented analysis technology is built on 20+ years of engineering experience in software quality and analysis. It enables automated, long-duration operation and collects data needed to understand what is happening inside the product and why. Profilence provides a continuous, expert-operated analysis service. Engagements typically begin with a focused initial mission and continue as a recurring analysis cycle as the product evolves. Customers do not need another tool to operate or extra technical capacity. We take responsibility for the analysis and work directly with engineering teams. AI is already used to analyse long-term product behaviour and automate parts of root cause investigation. We are also developing AI to operate the product, generate meaningful usage for analysis and increasingly adapt how it operates based on what the analysis reveals. Better information, earlier, gives customers greater control over the quality of the complete product before problems reach end users. Our experience is strongest in automotive and embedded systems, including Android, Android Automotive, Linux and QNX. We also work with medical, defence, secure communications and smart devices.
