ECU-TEST makes test automation very easy

ECU-TEST can read and process data in any common automotive format.

Whether ARXML, DBC, A2L or ODX, our tool speaks virtually all automotive languages fluently. The required format is stored in the test configuration and thus ensures Ethernet and bus signals access to the system-under-test. When reading, the data is parsed and can be integrated into any test case. In the same way, all interactions such as reading, writing, recording and analyzing in the test case can be easily formulated by linking expectations to them.

ECU-TEST is one of the few tools that can be used across manufacturers. It is also universal and can be used throughout the industry.

With ECU-TEST, more than 60 tools can be connected via standardized accesses and fully integrated tool interfaces. In this manner we want to prevent testers from creating innumerable complex test cases which they can only use with one tool. Instead, we ensure that ECU-TEST communicates with all tools and that test cases, once created, can be easily reused. The exchange of the individual tools takes place via abstract tool connections in the form of ports.

To ensure that the test is not over after one execution, test cases created once in ECU-TEST can be reused universally – from project to project, from test environment to test environment.

Due to the generic test description, the test cases created are largely independent of specific hardware and software of the test environments. This means that they can be used repeatedly in various test areas (MiL, SiL, Hil, ViL) and test domains (powertrain, infotainment or ADAS) in a versatile manner.

Once created, simply take the test cases with you and reuse them from test environment to test environment, from one project to the next, or from tool to tool. Tests and variants can be saved and reused across all test stages.

For all E/E components and systems in the vehicle, the signal curve can be recorded over the duration of a test case. With ECU-TEST this is not only easy, but also fast..

Nothing works without signals in sensors, electromechanical components, convenience electronics, bus systems or engine management. The list of possible signals is long, but ECU-TEST helps you to handle them all easily.

As soon as a relevant tool is configured, everything is already prepared in the background. You do not need detailed knowledge of specific protocols. ECU-TEST can call any signal from a model. Once the required signals are identified, you simply add them via drag & drop. ECU-TEST then starts recording the signals as soon as the tool is started. That's it.

ECU-TEST is based on Python. This is ideal for your own solutions and extensions, because ECU-TEST can be quickly and easily tailored to your own needs, whether for test case development or for integrating other tools.

Sometimes the functional conditions are not adequate for highly specialized solutions. With Python you have the possibility to adapt ECU-TEST to your own needs and to extend the functionality even further. Thanks to the simple syntax, even very complex requirements in test case development or trace analysis can be easily implemented.

With user-defined Python scripts, additional tools can also be integrated with little effort. This applies to special tools and in-house workflows as well as to in-house solutions or in-house hardware. Of course, we'll be happy to do that for you, too. Just send us a message!

ECU-TEST is so much more than pure test automation. All test results are logged during the test execution and thus form the basis for automatically creating a detailed test report. View > analyze > evaluate > done.

Test reports are generated automatically after the test cases have been executed. For us, this is normal and simply part of the package. Without extra steps, the information is added to the test report as and when a test case is executed. This forms the basis for reviewing a test execution. Test case-specific, procedural or even infrastructural discrepancies can thus be identified and errors that have occurred can be quickly rectified.

When it comes to reporting, we offer maximum scope for customization. Include your own templates and get a report in your design. The export format can also be selected. HTML, JSON, Excel or Text – thanks to the Report API, almost anything is possible. In combination with TEST-GUIDE you can also easily manage, analyze and re-evaluate the created test reports in ECU-TEST. The test reports can be automatically uploaded to TEST-GUIDE on request.
