Abstract:
Test automation in distributed systems requires new methods in signal simulation for the stimulation of the distributed system. Increasing complexity of electric electronic (E/E) systems increases the testing-effort. The main challenge is to reduce the time spent on manual stimulation of input signals in favor of automated testing. The systems currently used for test automation have to be adapted to each hardware and software version of the system to be tested. The approach shows a software-based automation solution through the integration of a simulation service in the AUTOSAR architecture. By integrating a generic softwarebased simulation module with an interaction point at the basic software driver layer, the execution of tests can be automated and improved in terms of adaptively and reproducibility.
