ECU-TEST - Automation and validation of ECU tests

Automated ECU test based on standard tools.

Automotive Electronics - ECU-TEST is the universal test automation ECU-TEST was designed for test automation and for the validation of ECUs. Standard test tools are already integrated and can be used together in tests. ECU-TEST is used to design, realize, run and evaluate tests.

Areas of Application

Automated and systematic tests of networked embedded systems in the automotive field
ECU tests in simulated vehicle environments SiL and HiL
Test preparation, even without ECU and ECU configuration

Advantages

Support of (virtually) all relevant test systems
High reusability of the tests thanks to generic test description (cross-mapping)
Intuitive graphic user interface
Networked test environment via client/server solution
Integrated support of subversion
Easy to extend for customer-specific requirement

User-Friendliness

The user-friendly user interface enables effective and productive testing of ECU software and hardware without necessitating a great deal of familiarization. In addition to controls for developing test cases, plug-ins for tool control and variable mapping are also available. The client/server solution contained enables interfaces and software tools to be addressed on several test bed systems of a networked test environment.

Reusability

Test cases can be parameterized and structured. Thanks to a generic test description (cross-mapping concept), the test cases generated are virtually independent of the specific test environment hardware/software and can thus be reused extensively.

Documentation

All test results are logged and are easy to analyze. Overviews are created for quick familiarization but in-depth views of the individual tests are also shown. The reports are easy to save or print for documentation purposes.
