Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automated testing for in-vehicle mobile phone interconnection, and more particularly to a method and system for automated testing of in-vehicle Apple mobile phone interconnection. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the automotive electronics industry, people have higher and higher requirements for in-vehicle terminals, such as in-vehicle entertainment multimedia systems. In-vehicle terminals embedded with operating systems have been widely popularized and are deeply favored by the automotive electronics industry. With the improvement and diversification of user requirements, numerous manufacturers have launched a variety of in-vehicle terminal software, providing users with more choices and allowing users to select their favorite applications from many in-vehicle terminal software. However, there are significant differences in the system designs between the Android system of in-vehicle terminals and the Android system of mobile phones, especially in terms of stability, functional modules, etc. For example: In terms of hardware: The chips and materials used in in-vehicle terminals need to meet automotive-grade requirements, while the chips and materials used in mobile phones only need to meet consumer-grade requirements. In terms of working environment requirements: In-vehicle terminals need to meet automotive-grade experimental requirement standards, such as EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) requirements, extreme high and low temperature resistance requirements, strong vibration resistance requirements, etc., while mobile phones only need to meet basic consumer-grade requirements. In terms of software: In-vehicle terminals also need to integrate basic functional modules that meet the characteristic functions of in-vehicle terminals, such as: body diagnosis function module, original vehicle bus information function module, peripheral independent function modules (CMMB, CarDVR, TPMS, etc.); while mobile phones do not need to meet these characteristic functions unique to in-vehicle terminals. Currently, in mainstream testing technologies, for the automated testing of in-vehicle mobile phone interconnection, most are through writing some scripts or test applications and running them on the in-vehicle unit or mobile phone side. For some relatively complex test conditions and operations, simple automated testing methods cannot meet the requirements. For example, on iOS, due to system limitations, it is impossible to obtain the basic status of the mobile phone and operate other external applications. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, this patent proposes a method and system for automated testing of in-vehicle Apple mobile phone interconnection, including the following steps:

[0015] The automation execution program is used to create corresponding automation test cases according to different vehicle-mounted sub-tools to be tested, and configure the automation test operation process according to the test requirements;

[0016] After any of the cases is configured and started to run, it is detected whether the running result is qualified according to the recorded running test result, and the test of the sub-tool to be tested is completed.

[0021] Step 4: After completing the configuration, generate a case for each sub-tool to be tested;

[0022] Step 5: Start running the case, record the test results, and check whether the running results are qualified. If qualified, save the current case and repeat the subsequent automated test operations as a standard automated test case; otherwise, adjust the configuration according to the unqualified parameters, and restart the run until it is qualified, and then save the latest case.

[0023] Furthermore, the automated test triggering conditions include at least: a specific time setting, or CarPlay starting up and executing a specific operation, or starting or shutting down any in-vehicle APP or executing a specific operation.

[0024] Furthermore, the sub-tool to be tested includes at least: an in-vehicle APP, or a personal favorite link, or a script, or a media link, or a web page, or a file plus a location.

[0025] Furthermore, the execution order of each case in the automated execution program is set, and any of the cases performs the automated testing process synchronously or sequentially.

[0026] In summary, the present invention provides a method and system for in-vehicle Apple mobile phone interconnection automated testing, which mainly uses the shortcut command application that comes with the iPhone mobile phone system to generate commonly used automated commands, and achieves in-vehicle interconnection through corresponding commands.
