SW tools: MATLAB Simulink, Vector CANoe, TwinCAT
Programming \ scripting \ automation languages: Python, CAPL
HIL hardware: dSPACE, Speedgoat, Beckhoff, Vector VN series
HIL design – Electrical diagram, HIL block diagram, Assembly support documentation (HW)
Manual testing – HIL set-up and maintenance; test cases creation, manual test cases execution
Automation testing – Automated testing on HIL (automated test scripts creation and execution)
The client had decisional, technological, and financial challenges, so it joined forces with rinf.tech to address them effectively and find the best solution fast and cost-effectively.
The company faced a dilemma of what type of technical solution to choose for their hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) automation for electric control unit (ECU) testing: a known and tried-and-tested solution that has already been used in production versus a new, original and innovative solution that has never been used in production before.
The solution had to include one common test bench for multiple ECUs.
The company was looking to set the hardware configuration of the HIL bench (bench configuration and Beckhoff modules setting) and they lacked internal knowledge for doing so correctly.
The company had severe budget limitations, which excluded purchasing of new HIL bench parts.
On top of that, the client had communication difficulties due to new people in their in-house IT team, which resulted in inefficient processes, delays in decision-making, lack of integrity.
We performed complete software testing process optimization using V-model, namely:
These actions allowed us to guarantee high-level Quality Assurance through high-level engineering capabilities.
