Quality Indicators for Automotive Test Case Specifications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Testing is an important quality assurance activity during development of automotive software. Automotive OEMs and suppliers use test case specifications to specify, mostly informal, test cases as well as supporting information like traces to requirements. While the quality of the test case specifications has a high influence on the quality of the subsequent testing, quality of informal automotive test case specifications have not been investigated yet. In this paper, we present 7 potential quality indicators, ranging from requirement coverage to contents of a test step. The quality indicators have been identified in a case study of 816 current test case specifications specified by an OEM and suppliers.

Specification and testing activities are key phases in embedded systems development lifecycles. In specification-based testing approaches, test cases are solely generated from the system specification. Test cases are often too numerous to be executed exhaustively. In practice, test engineers often select test cases based on informal approximations. We aim at improving these activities by formul...
متن کاملEstablishment of the Product Level Conformity Assessment Case: Japan Automotive Software Platform and Architecture
As the variety of interoperability test has been excused in the platform of “smart community”, SDOs (standards developing organizations) have recently emphasized the importance of the system level conformity assessment (SLCA) which is free from the interoperability problems of complex product system. In the real industrial world, however, even the PLCA (Product Level Conformity Assessment) have...
متن کاملµTTCN - an approach to continuous signals in TTCN-3
Today, development and implementation of automotive embedded systems is based on a model-based process. A major problem of respective model-based toolchains can be traced back to inadequate testing tools, which often are not standardized, incomplete and cumbersome in usage. Due to these shortcomings, test specifications are neither exchangeable nor reuseable. In this paper, we propose μTTCN for...
