When you are trying to design high performance IP, you are often trying to ensure that your design is mathematically correct, inputs and outputs are matching a complicated 100 page specification. You are also trying to parse out the minimum set of workable requirements for "version 1" all with fitting into utilization constraints that ultimately are undefined.

Your mindset is really split. "Building up a software dashboard" to visualize your test results is really the last thing on your mind. You definitely don't want to be building the dashboard for all your customer's platforms.

Having somebody (a company) help on this front is really useful.
