Ecu Test
Functionality
Methodology
ECU-TEST automates the control of the whole test environment and supports a broad range of test tools. Various abstraction layers
for measured quantities allow its application on different testing levels, e.g. within the context of model in the loop, software in the
loop and hardware in the loop as well as in real systems (vehicle and driver in the loop). Creating test cases using ECU-TEST is
conducted graphically and does not require programming skills. Test-case descriptions have a generic form, which together with
extensive parameterization and configuration options, allows uniform access to all test tools and thereby simplifies re-use of existing
tests over multiple development phases.
Structure
ECU-TEST is organized in four parts:
Interfaces
ECU-TEST provided clear interfaces for extensions and for the integration in existing test and validation processes. A large amount
of test hardware and software is supported by default. Using user-defined test steps, plug-ins and Python scripts, additional tools can
be integrated with little effort. Via a specific client-server-architecture, software tools of multiple test-bench computers in distributed
test environments can be addressed. Using a COM interface, further tools, e.g. for requirements management, revision control and
model-based testing can be integrated. ECU-TEST supports the following hardware and software tools and is based on the following
standards:[10]
Supported standards
CAN
Field Bus Exchange Format (FIBEX)
FlexRay
HiL-API
LIN
MCD 2 (A2L) and MCD 3
