Abstract

Vehicles which satisfy ever increasing needs for comfort, safety and environment protection uses electronic engine. Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is the brain of electronic engine. Overall operation of electronic engine is controlled by ECU software. As customer needs are increasing, ECU software is becoming more and more complex. Testing of such complex software manually is difficult as well as time consuming process. Test automation tool will overcome disadvantages of manual testing. NI TestStand is used as software platform to develop test sequence whereas NI VeriStand provides real time environment during test execution. Engine simulator is used as hardware platform.

... It is about finding an appropriate compromise between the number of tests performed (test costs) and the number of errors detected. 8 A waterfall software development model is used in smaller projects where no changes to the functionality or features of the resulting software are expected. In terms of testing, it is a disadvantage that testing takes place at the end of the development cycle. ...
Article
To satisfy the ever increasing needs for safety, comfort, and environment protection of today's vehicles, the Electronic Control Units (ECU) and various sensors are getting more and more complex [1], [2]. Therefore, developing new control algorithms and cost efficient verification tools for a new generation of ECUs and sensors has become a highly important issue. This paper deals with the design and implementation of a versatile automated Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test environment, which facilitates the development of control algorithms, calibration, and verification of state of the art sensors and ECUs [3]. The environment is able to emulate the vehicles' dynamic behavior, reduces the time required for development and testing, and eliminates the need for using expensive real vehicles for testing purposes.
