The increasing complexity and variant diversity of automated driving functions results in exponential efforts required for testing their functionality and safety. Conventional approaches using requirement-based test methods and focusing the test location vehicle reach their limits.
The scenario-based test methodology enables test cases to be defined independently of the function and to be used across different test sites. By consistent virtualization and automated test control, we offer maximum test efficiency and coverage.
By intelligent criticality assessment, we identify the relevant test scenarios for each function and ensure that all significant requirements regarding functionality and safety are focused and evaluated.
The superordinate test control and the use of generic formats such as OpenSCENARIO enable us to employ test scenarios throughout the entire test process and to shift tests between virtual test locations and vehicle.
By full automation from test control to test execution, we utilize the available test resources as efficiently as possible. In order to reduce vehicle tests and to parallelize the test execution, we focus on virtual test sites.
The function-independent definition of the scenarios is robust towards changes in functional requirements and of test tools. This guarantees a high level of reusability, also for future automated driving functions and SAE levels.
We develop test scenarios for all relevant traffic situations and use cases of automated driving functions, and we ensure their completeness. The use of OpenSCENARIO enables portability between test locations and tools.
The eligible test case space can only be mastered by strict automation of the scenario selection and the test execution. For this purpose, we rely on the application of commercial tools, which are enhanced by our own automation solutions, if required:
In order to increase the test speed and throughput as well as to reduce vehicle tests, we focus on maximum level of virtualization including test execution in the cloud. For this purpose, we offer you experience with all common tool and cloud environments.
We implement complex test scenarios for the verification of function and safety in the vehicle. Benefit from the test equipment in our mobile measuring technology laboratory x-track and from our experience with measuring equipment of all common manufacturers.
