Automation Test Method for Automotive Embedded Software Based on AUTOSAR

This paper discusses new approach to materialize for automation test method for automotive embedded software. The total automotive embedded software is changing frequently whenever the specification for hardware is modified. These cause to spend time and cost. To resolve these problems, AUTOSAR which consists of the standardized interfaces, structures and communication method was introduced. AUTOSAR has Client-Server mechanism in order to communicate effectively. This means that automotive systems have to be controlled by embedded software simultaneously through CAN and Serial communication method. And the AUTOSAR proposes software architecture and communication method to improve the quality of automotive embedded software. This paper suggests an automotive HVAC system based on AUTOSAR to testify the propriety as a standard architecture, and proposes automation test method and technique. Finally, AUTOSAR is demonstrated as standardized software architecture and communication method, and we suggest automation testing technique to enhance the accuracy and reduce the time and cost to testify for automotive embedded software.
