Percepio Announces Collaboration Accelerating Automotive Software Observability
Percepio Tracealyzer® enables BMW Group to monitor embedded software
performance in latest generation of Software-Defined Vehicles.
Västerås, Sweden – 6 November 2025 – Percepio AB, a leading provider of observability
solutions for embedded and edge systems, today announced a collaboration with German
automotive manufacturer BMW Group. Percepio’s flagship product Tracealyzer has been usedby BMW to monitor and optimize software performance in the IP-Basis Integration Platform for body and comfort systems in their next generation of vehicles.
“This is a significant validation of our technology,” said Andreas Lifvendahl, CEO of Percepio AB.
“Modern automotive systems are among the most complex and demanding embedded
environments, and BMW Group’s use of Tracealyzer highlights the value of continuous
observability in mission-critical applications.”
Tracealyzer has provided essential insight into software runtime performance, helping engineersmonitor execution behavior during development and testing in BMW’s acceleration of SoftwareDefined Vehicles (SDVs). Tracealyzer provided the scalability and modularity as key enablers for BMW engineers. Tracealyzer also enabled custom monitors of KPIs and allowed BMW’s existing data collection infrastructure to be seamlessly integrated with Tracealyzer.
The automotive industry is undergoing a transformation toward software-defined architectures.
As vehicles increasingly rely on real-time, embedded software, ensuring runtime reliability and performance becomes essential. Percepio’s Tracealyzer tool addresses these needs by offering visual trace diagnostics that accelerate development and enhance software quality.
Percepio invites OEMs and Tier-1 automotive suppliers to explore how observability can
transform their development workflows and support the transition to SDVs. Percepio is
expanding its portfolio of embedded software observability solutions to meet the growing
demand for reliable products in an ever-increasingly complex world of automotive software and are strong promotors of the best practice of Observability Driven Development (ODD).
