[0050] Before describing the embodiments of the present application in detail, some nouns and terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are first described. The nouns and terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are subject to the following explanations.

[0051] 1) Over The Air (OTA) is a technology that remotely manages mobile terminal devices and SIM card data through the air interface of mobile communications. After years of development, this technology has become quite mature and is widely used in many fields such as mobile communications, smart home appliances, and smart connected vehicles.

[0052] 2) Body Control Module (BCM) is a crucial component of the automotive electronic system. As an electronic control unit (ECU), it is responsible for controlling and managing the vehicle's body systems, including but not limited to doors, windows, air intake system, lighting system, brake system, body electrical system, etc.

[0053] 3) Telematics Box (TBOX) is an important part of the IoV system and is responsible for information exchange between vehicles and the Internet and external communication networks. TBOX can collect various information about the vehicle, such as speed, fuel level, location, etc., and upload this information to the cloud server or remote control center through the mobile network. At the same time, TBOX can also receive instructions from the cloud server or remote control center to realize remote control of the vehicle, remote fault diagnosis, emergency rescue and other functions.

[0054] 4) Smart vehicles integrate high-precision sensors, advanced computing platforms, complex algorithms and communication technologies, and can autonomously perceive the surrounding environment, analyze and make decisions in real time to control vehicle driving and achieve a safe, efficient, environmentally friendly and comfortable autonomous driving experience.

[0055] In the field of smart vehicles, over-the-air download technology has gradually become the most commonly used upgrade method for smart connected car software updates. Through OTA technology, users can enjoy software upgrades without returning to the store, thereby repairing or upgrading functions. For automobile manufacturers, before pushing OTA tasks to users, OTA testing must be carried out, and the push will be sent out after the success rate of OTA upgrades is guaranteed.

[0056] In related technologies, OTA testing technology is generally divided into two types: one is pure manual real-car testing, where the tester simulates the user and pushes the task to the vehicle. The tester considers various possible operations of the user to ensure the success, safety and driving safety of the upgrade. The other is bench testing, which uses scripts to automatically arrange the cloud task delivery and the vehicle screen clicks.

[0057] The disadvantage of pure manual testing is that it is inefficient and not suitable for multiple and durability testing. The disadvantage of bench testing is that the controller is fully integrated in the bench and has no controller functions. The environment is not completely consistent with the actual vehicle, and the abnormal behavior of the controller cannot be monitored, so it cannot completely replace the actual vehicle test.

[0069] The cloud task script placement module is used to access the cloud page to place cloud tasks according to the call of the central control module, and send the cloud tasks to the test vehicle.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the cloud task script arrangement module receives the call of the central control module to deploy the task in the cloud, and sends the cloud task to the test vehicle. Among them, the cloud refers to the use of the Internet to deploy data storage, computing power and application services on a remote server, and users access and use these resources and services through the network to achieve real-time synchronization, sharing and efficient processing of data. A technical architecture and service model. At the beginning of the cloud task arrangement, the tester will first prepare a table, which contains the target version software, vehicle VIN number and other necessary elements for arranging tasks. When the central control module executes the test case, the cloud page is accessed by extracting the key information in the table, thereby arranging tasks in the cloud and waiting for the cloud task to be sent to the vehicle end. Among them, the vehicle VIN, the full name is Vehicle Identification Number, that is, the vehicle identification code, also known as the frame number.

[0073] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3, the car-machine script control module is connected to the car-machine of the test vehicle through a multi-functional command line tool. The car-machine script control module can connect to the car-machine of the test vehicle through the multi-functional command line tool to perform upgrade operations and record the car-machine upgrade image. Specifically, the multi-functional command line tool can use ADB, which is a powerful command line tool that is mainly used to connect Android devices to computers, and allows developers to debug, install applications, interact with data and perform other operations on Android devices on computers. The car-machine in the vehicle, that is, the in-vehicle infotainment product, is an intelligent device installed inside the car.

Before each use case is executed, the power control module is used to control the power of the test vehicle. The embodiment of the present application controls the power of the test vehicle through the power control module, and can perform corresponding operations when the vehicle is low on power, thereby improving the efficiency of OTA automated testing.

Specifically, the power reading back unit is generally implemented through a diagnostic instruction, connected to a data transmitter and receiver, and the vehicle-side battery unit is accessed through the data transmitter and receiver to obtain the vehicle-side power. The remote start unit is used to receive the start instruction of the power reading back unit to perform remote ignition and charging processing on the test vehicle, and remotely ignite and charge the vehicle. The power reading back cycle can be set, for example, every ten minutes of charging, the power is read back. If the power threshold is exceeded, charging is stopped and the test case is executed. The remote start unit can click on the remote control module through ADB automatic control to send a remote start request to the vehicle network intelligent terminal (TBOX). The embodiment of the present application reads the power of the test vehicle through the power reading back unit, and remotely charges the vehicle through the remote start unit, which can reduce the risk that the vehicle cannot be effectively tested due to low power during testing, and can improve the efficiency of the test.
