  • Patent number: 10551281
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for testing an real and/or virtual automotive system through a test by a test environment interacting with the real and/or virtual part, which includes a test series with different test cases of the test for different execution conditions that are specified in test configurations. Each combination of test case and test configuration is assigned a test status value from a group of predefined test status values in accordance with an evaluation of the function of the system in the corresponding test. For further planning, execution, and/or evaluation of the test series at least once a relative test coverage of at least one of the status values is determined in the resulting test case configuration matrix and/or a relative potential for improvement of the test coverage of at least one of the status values with regard to a test case and/or with regard to a configuration is determined.

  • Patent number: 9626263
    Abstract: An arrangement for testing a control unit via a test environment, having a computer-based test management tool, wherein the test management tool is configured for model-based development and/or management of at least one test plan implemented as a data structure in order to test the control unit, and the test plan has at least one test and a start condition for initiating execution of the test plan; a computer-based test execution control tool, wherein the test execution control tool is configured to initiate execution of the test plan on the test environment when the start condition is met; and a computer-based database, wherein the database is configured to store the test plan implemented as a data structure and is also configured for shared, common access to the test plan by the test management tool and the test execution control tool.
