'''Hardware-in-the-loop''' (HIL) [[simulation]], or HWIL, is a technique that is used in the development and test of complex real-time [[embedded systems]]. HIL simulation provides an effective [[platform (computing)|platform]] by adding the complexity of the <!--plant Whatunder doescontrol to the test platform.

Suggestion from a confused reader:
1) Do not use the word "plant" in the opening section
2) In the following section, define the word "plant" in layman terms (examples would help).
3) After that, use the term "plant" freely. --> to the test platform. The complexity of the plant under control is included in test and development by adding a [[Representation (mathematics)|mathematical representation]] of all related [[dynamic systems]]. These mathematical representations are referred to as the “plant simulation”. The embedded system to be tested interacts with this plant simulation.
