Testing automotive system prototypes far before driving on the proving ground

摘要

The success of automotive test campaigns is determined by the quality of the established test management, the used test systems and the actual testing activities. With the growing complexity of present E/E vehicle architectures, these tasks have become a real challenge, and therefore, appropriate methods and tools to handle this complexity are a key component in ensuring E/E quality. In this presentation, 3 main aspects along the life cycle of an electronic control unit (ECU) are focused: test management, test equipment and automation and test operations (s. Fig. 1).
