A Test-Oriented HMI Specification Model for Model-Based Testing of Automotive Human-Machine Interfaces

چکیده
While model-based testing is widely-used for function tests, testing the human-machine interface (HMI) remains a manual, demanding and time consuming task. Numerous research efforts have been addressing model-based HMI testing in the last years. However the existing approaches cannot serve our test purposes or needs. In the research project at AUDI AG a model-based testing approach is proposed for testing both the logical behavior and the graphical interface of automotive infotainment HMIs. In this paper we focus on menu behavior tests and introduce some important details of the test-oriented specification model. A test-oriented HMI specification model describes the expected menu behavior and contains needed information for the test generation. Methods of test generation and execution will be introduced briefly.

A Test-Oriented HMI Specification Model for Model-Based Testing of Automotive HMIs
The software functionalities and complexity of today’s in-car infotainment HMIs (human machine interface) have grown significantly in recent years. While model-based testing and test automation are widely-used for testing system functions, testing the HMI remains manual tasks, which are very demanding and time consuming. In our research at AUDI AG a model-based testing approach is proposed for ...
متن کاملModel-based Test Automation for Automotive Human Machine Interfaces
The development process of automotive human machine interfaces (HMIs) is traditionally characterized by a number of discontinuities. A diverse set of stake-holders participate in this development process, all of which have their own perspectives, use their own approaches, and rely on their own representational frameworks and tools. Our strategy to overcome the existing discontinuities relies on...

Testing the graphical human machine interface (HMI) of automotive infotainment systems has shown to be costly and challenging due to its large function scope, high complexity and multiple variants. To ensure the quality and reduce testing costs we are working on a model-based testing concept for graphical HMIs of infotainment systems. In our work the short form ”HMI” is used for the term ”graph...

Model based testing promises systematic test coverage in a continuous testing process. However, in practice, model based testing struggles with informal specifications, different software variants and large applications. In this paper, we present a solution to overcome these hurdles in the area of automotive infotainment systems using domain specific languages in combination with model transfor...
متن کاملChallenges in Automated Model-Based HMI Testing
We describe our approach to automated model-based HMI testing. The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, we summarize the current status of our work. In the second part, we describe a number of research areas that need to be worked on in order to achieve true model-based HMI test automation. 1 Test Automation in the HMI Domain The task of test automation involves two subtasks: (1)...
