TOOLS FOR NETWORKS AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS DaVinci Component Tester Testing AUTOSAR Application Software on the PC DaVinci Component Tester is a universal run-time platform for testing SWCs in all development phases of ECU applications. Overview of advantages > User-friendly testing of AUTOSAR software components (SWC) on a PC > Wide variety of use cases; from tests supporting the ECU developer to acceptance tests at the automotive OEM > Suitable for all application SWCs, e.g. state machines or control systems > Testing of SWCs developed manually or by model-based methods > Unlimited support of all SWC interfaces per AUTOSAR Release 3.0 and 3.1 > Quick setup of tests without time-consuming configuration > Simplified test cases by emulating AUTOSAR Standard Services > Interfaces to standard test tools: CANoe from Vector and NUnit > Interfaces to development environments such as Microsoft Developer Studio or Eclipse via open interfaces Application Areas DaVinci Component Tester supports the following application areas: > Rapid Prototyping While developing ECU applications, you can use the DaVinci Component Tester as a convenient run-time platform for SWCs. By integrating DaVinci Component Tester in the development environment, you can execute and debug the SWCs right on your development PC. Also, in conjunction with a development and test tool such as CANoe you can control the SWCs interactively, e.g. via user interfaces, and analyze their behavior. > Unit Test of software components Use DaVinci Component Tester for testing the functionality and AUTOSAR-conformity of your SWCs. Together with a unit test tool such as NUnit, this will increase the quality of your SWCs by testing during development. An example is automated regres-sion Thanks to AUTOSAR, an ECUs application software can be devel-oped as hardware-independent software components (SWCs) based on a Virtual Functional Bus (VFB). DaVinci Component Tester is a high-performance VFB emulator that enables execution and testing of such SWCs on a PC. It is very easy to configure the DaVinci Component Tester, by using just the SWC description file without modification of the SWCs. The original source code is executed directly. tests. > Integration tests of software components DaVinci Component Tester supports integrating complex systems consisting of multiple SWCs. When used together with a test tool like CANoe, this lets you verify system functionality early on.
