CONTINUOUS TESTING CRITICAL TO AUTOMOTIVE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT



White Papers
August 18, 2022
Olaf Kammel

Test & Validation
Justin L. Koegle
Global Chief Engineer, HIL/VIL/Simulation,
Test & Validation

The sheer amount of software required by a modern vehicle has grown to tens of
millions of lines of code, putting pressure on OEMs and suppliers to write,
deploy and integrate code more quickly and efficiently. New testing methods are
accelerating that process.

At the same time, software has graduated from enabling infotainment and engine
functions to controlling new safety-critical features such as advanced
driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving systems, raising the
stakes and vastly increasing the complexity of testing.

The pace of technological change puts pressure on OEMs to incorporate new
features closer to the start of production and even after vehicles have been
sold. Developers need short feedback loops, enabled by testing, to continually
update code without lengthy approval processes.

A sea change in development

Changes in testing are part of a broader transition in the way the industry
develops both software and hardware.

Traditionally, developers have written software for each hardware component and
then integrated it with code for other parts of the vehicle. Testing of the
integrated software has come late in the process, limiting the time for
additional changes. Development of each component and vehicle platform has been
a one-off process that starts over again for the next platform.

OEMs are beginning to shift from this incremental, vertically integrated
approach to more agile, iterative methods in which independent teams
continuously write, integrate and test their own code. Horizontal layers of
middleware take the place of code specific to each component or vehicle
platform. Applications and functions are integrated via application programming
interfaces ( APIs) shared among the development teams. This continuous
integration/ continuous deployment (CI/CD) method lets development teams update
their code throughout the life of a vehicle and reuse proven code from other
components and platforms to minimize cost and errors.

The new software methods also help OEMs implement new architectures in which
processing moves to large, centralized domain controllers from smaller
electronic control units, reducing cost and complexity.

Continuous testing supports iterative development

New testing methods are part of this fundamental change. Testing software as it
is being developed — to meet new demands for speed and scalability — requires
the division of code into components linked by APIs and the use of automated
tests on those components. Testing early and often, using automation, and
adopting cloud platforms can improve all three stages of testing:
software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and vehicle-in-the-loop
(VIL).

Read more about how these testing stages work together in our white paper.
