Vector's new DaVinci component tester gives users a PC-based tool for validating the proper implementation of AUTOSAR software components. This process involves checking both atomic software components and compositions of multiple software components. When used together with a test tool such as CANoe or NUnit, the test engineer can perform several types of tests on the PC including unit testing of individual software components and integration testing of complex functions.
During the test, the tool emulates the runtime environment and services of the AUTOSAR basic software enabling execution of the software components on the PC. Configuration is performed dynamically with the software components' AUTOSAR XML file. The tool handles control of the tests and reports of the test results. As a result of its open interfaces, the tool can be integrated in an existing test tool chain.
