From Virtual ECU to Real Vehicle: Continuous Testing of Functional Requirements

Wednesday, June 8, 2022 at 11:00 am U.S. EDT

Today, most of the software functions in a car can be tested efficiently using virtual ECU models and DevOps engineering methods. However, final acceptance tests with real vehicles are still mandatory, even though they are expensive and time-consuming. The prevalent problem is the gap between automated virtual methods and manual testing, which further increases costs and the risk of incomplete testing.

This 30-minute Webinar presents a flow for seamless testing of functional requirements throughout the entire development process. The key idea is to formalize the functional requirements using a Requirement Modelling Language (RML). The resulting RML-based test suite represents an executable test specification that can be applied to both the virtual domain and the real vehicle. The RML test specification can also be shared across the supply chain to ensure compliance with software deliverables from third-party suppliers.

The Webinar introduces RML concepts and demonstrates the practical usage of creating and executing RML tests for a virtual ECU. Also shared are experiences based on real-world case studies where an RML test suite was used for acceptance tests in prototype vehicles.

An audience Q&A follows the technical presentation.
