Data flow in automated testing of the complex automotive electronic control units

Process of development complex electronic control units (ECUs) is usually complex and requires several iterations (releases). After each iteration, it is necessary to perform detailed testing and verification of all components in a testing environment that is as similar as possible to the real system. For this kind of testing it is recommended to use the automated testing environment that generates detailed reports about each segment of tested ECU. This paper describes techniques for secure and automated data flow in process of electronic control units testing.
