Testing and Validation

Module tests

Set up of module test infrastructure

Creation of module test specifications

Execution of module and component tests for TCMS software

Execution of laboratory tests at software module level

Automated test execution on real VCUs or through virtualisation (SIM-VCI)

Analysis of module-test results

Creation of test reports

Test management

Creation of test specifications or process protocols for the integration test

Testing of vehicle control software with integrated software modules (software level) as well as integrated sub systems (hardware level)

Automated execution of tests in laboratory environments

Test of the central control system with the integrated sub-systems

Execution of integration tests for complete vehicles, e.g. via residual bus simulation (HIL systems)

Creation of test reports

Creation of type-test specifications

Implementation of tests on the vehicle

Testing of integrated systems to assure the specified requirements are met

System test: test the function on the vehicle with the complete TCMS

Type test: Testing whether the functions meet the requirements

Result analysis, creation of test reports

Review artifacts from the testing process

System testing in the production environment

Operational test: function tests on the operating track in different driving situations (e.g. uphill, downhill, wet track)

Test of electrical systems on the vehicle

Communication tests on the vehicle

Validation of system properties

Validation of the implementation of customer requirements

Validation of vehicles on behalf of operators
