[0029] Example 1

[0030] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a real-vehicle automated testing method according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the real-vehicle testing of in-vehicle software in intelligent vehicles. The method can be executed by a real-vehicle automated testing device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software. The device can be configured in an in-vehicle terminal, which can be located in the target vehicle being tested. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0031] Step 110: Obtain the test task issued by the cloud management platform.

[0032] The cloud management platform can be a management system based on cloud technology. This platform can manage the test tasks and results of real-vehicle testing. It provides functions for writing test tasks and reading test results. A test task can be a real-vehicle test of in-vehicle software. A test task can consist of one or more test cases for the in-vehicle software. These test cases can include information such as test objectives, test scenarios, input data, execution steps, and expected results set for the in-vehicle software.

[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, the user can send test tasks to the vehicle terminal that performs real vehicle testing through the cloud management platform. The vehicle terminal can communicate with the cloud management platform. This communication connection can be achieved through a wired connection or a wireless connection. The vehicle terminal can receive the test tasks sent by the cloud management platform. The test tasks can include one or more test cases for vehicle software.

[0034] Step 120: Control the target vehicle to which the vehicle terminal belongs according to the test task, and collect the operating status information of the target vehicle.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, the target vehicle may be the vehicle where the vehicle-mounted terminal is located. The vehicle-mounted terminal in the target vehicle may serve as the main control unit or other functional unit of the target vehicle. After obtaining the test task, the vehicle-mounted terminal may control the target vehicle according to the test cases in the test task, so that the target vehicle executes the test operation corresponding to the test task. When the target vehicle executes the control corresponding to the test task, the operating status information of the target vehicle may be collected. The operating status information may include the feedback of the target vehicle to the test operation. For example, the operating status information may include the feedback information of the control unit in the target vehicle to the test operation, as well as the execution result of the target vehicle to the test operation, etc. The execution result may include whether the target vehicle turns on the air conditioner, turns on the headlights, or generates abnormal smoke, etc.

[0036] Step 130: Generate real vehicle test results based on the running status information and the expected results of the test task, and feed the real vehicle results back to the cloud management platform.

[0037] The expected result can be the anticipated outcome of the on-vehicle software's real-vehicle testing within the test task. This expected result can be a reasonable result derived from the inputs and execution steps of the test task and can be configured within the test task. The real-vehicle test result can be the final result after the target vehicle undergoes real-vehicle testing. The real-vehicle test result can correspond to a test task; that is, each test task can have its own corresponding test result. The real-vehicle test result can include whether the expected result matches the operational status information or whether the expected result does not match the operational status information within the test task.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, the operating status information monitored in the test task can be extracted, and the corresponding expected results can be extracted within the test task. The operating status information can be compared with the expected results, and the actual vehicle test results can be generated based on whether the operating status information meets the expected results. The vehicle terminal can feed the actual vehicle test results back to the cloud management platform to complete the actual vehicle test of the vehicle software in the target vehicle.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, a test task is received from a cloud management platform. The target vehicle is controlled according to the test task, and its operational status information is collected. Based on the operational status information and the expected results of the test task, a real-vehicle test result is generated and fed back to the cloud management platform. This embodiment of the invention obtains the test task from the cloud management platform through an in-vehicle terminal, eliminating the need for the actual vehicle to be connected to test equipment. This reduces the physical limitations of real-vehicle testing. The test result is directly determined through the in-vehicle terminal without the need for intervention from a higher-level test system, thus improving the efficiency of real-vehicle testing.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of another automated vehicle testing method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The embodiments of the present invention are specific modifications based on the above-described embodiments. See also... Figure 2 The method provided in this embodiment of the invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0042] Step 210: Obtain the test task issued by the cloud management platform.

[0043] Step 220: Extract the test operations for the test task.

[0044] Among them, the test operation can be an operation used to test the in-vehicle software in the target vehicle. The test operation can consist of one or more operations that control the in-vehicle software, and each operation within the test operation can be arranged in a specific order.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, the test task may include at least test operations, which may be a set of operations for controlling the in-vehicle software in the target vehicle. One or more operations corresponding to the test operation may be executed sequentially in a specified execution order.

[0046] Step 230: Generate vehicle simulation operation instructions for the test operation.

[0047] Among them, vehicle simulation operation instructions can be instructions generated by simulating user operations. Vehicle simulation operation instructions can be stored in the form of events or operation data. Vehicle simulation operation instructions can have a corresponding relationship with test operations. For example, test operations and vehicle simulation operation instructions have the same identification information.

[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, a corresponding vehicle simulation operation command can be generated for the test operation. The vehicle simulation operation command simulates the user's operation in the target vehicle, thereby realizing the real vehicle test of the in-vehicle software in the target vehicle.

[0049] Step 240: Trigger the function control of the control unit in the target vehicle according to the vehicle simulation operation command.

[0050] The control unit can be a hardware or software unit within the target vehicle that performs functional control. The control unit can be configured with onboard software to achieve functional control. For example, the control unit can be a controller that controls the air conditioning or a controller that controls the vehicle lights.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, the control unit in the target vehicle can be triggered by the vehicle simulation operation command, so that the control unit executes its pre-configured function. The test execution of the test task can be realized through the functional control of one or more control units.

[0052] Step 250: Receive control feedback information generated by the control unit based on function control, and use the control feedback information as operating status information.

[0053] The control feedback information can be feedback information generated by the control unit when performing function control. The control feedback information can include the execution result or execution process information of the function control. In some embodiments, the control feedback information can also include execution error information of the function control.

[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, the vehicle terminal can receive control feedback information generated by the control unit for function control. The control feedback information indicates the execution status of the control unit for function control. The execution status includes information such as execution result, execution process and execution error. The vehicle terminal can use the control feedback result fed back by the control unit as the running status information for generating real vehicle test results.

[0055] Step 260: Generate real vehicle test results based on the running status information and the expected results of the test task, and feed the real vehicle results back to the cloud management platform.

[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, by receiving test tasks transmitted from a cloud management platform, extracting test operations within the test tasks, generating vehicle simulation operation instructions corresponding to the test operations, transmitting the vehicle simulation operation instructions to the control unit of the target vehicle to trigger the control unit to perform functional control, receiving control feedback information from the control unit during the functional control process, using the control feedback information as operating status information, comparing the operating status information with the expected results of the test tasks to obtain the actual vehicle test results, and uploading the actual vehicle test results to the cloud management platform, thereby realizing automated actual vehicle testing of in-vehicle software. By generating vehicle simulation operation instructions for test operations, the actual vehicle testing process does not require human intervention, saving testing manpower costs. The actual vehicle test results are generated on the in-vehicle terminal based on the comparison of operating status information and expected results, without the participation of a higher-level testing system, which can reduce the physical environment limitations of the actual vehicle testing process and improve the efficiency of actual vehicle testing.

[0057] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments of the invention, the function control of the control unit in the target vehicle is triggered according to the vehicle simulation operation command, including:

[0058] The vehicle simulation operation command is sent to the control unit through a preset communication protocol, wherein the preset communication protocol includes at least one of the following: controller area network protocol, local interconnection network protocol, Ethernet network protocol, general measurement and calibration protocol, and safety enclosure protocol.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, the vehicle terminal can communicate with the control unit of the target vehicle. This communication can be achieved through a preset communication protocol. The vehicle terminal generates vehicle simulation operation instructions based on the test task and transmits them to the control unit through the preset communication protocol, so that the control unit performs function control when it receives the vehicle simulation operation instructions. The preset communication protocol may include at least one of the following: controller area network protocol, local interconnection network protocol, Ethernet network protocol, general measurement and calibration protocol, and safety enclosure protocol.

[0060] Specifically, the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol can be used to connect different control units within the target vehicle. These control units may include, but are not limited to, the engine control module, braking system, and airbags. The CAN protocol features high reliability, strong real-time performance, multi-master communication, and long transmission distance. The Local Interconnect Network (LIN) protocol can be used to connect control units of different auxiliary systems within the target vehicle. These control units may include lighting control units, windshield wiper control units, etc. The LIN protocol features single-wire transmission and master-slave communication, controlling multiple slave control nodes through a single master control node. The Ethernet protocol supports various application layer protocols, including but not limited to TCP / IP, HTTP, and FTP. Control units within the target vehicle can form a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) network via Ethernet. The Universal Measurement and Calibration Protocol (XCP) is used for the measurement, calibration, and diagnostics of control units within the target vehicle. The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol uses encryption technology to encrypt communication data, ensuring the secure transmission of data between control units within the target vehicle and preventing data from being stolen or tampered with. The encryption algorithms supported by the SSH protocol can include AES, RSA, DSA, etc.

[0061] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments of the invention, it also includes: acquiring vehicle operation status images of the target vehicle, and identifying vehicle status information from the vehicle operation status images as operation status information.

[0062] The vehicle operating status images can be images of the target vehicle during actual vehicle testing. These images can be collected by image sensors configured in the target vehicle and may include, but are not limited to, images of the vehicle's infotainment interface, buttons, lights, and exhaust smoke. These images reflect the functional control results of the target vehicle's control units. Vehicle status information can be determined by identifying these images. This information may include details reflecting the target vehicle's functional control results, such as whether the infotainment interface is open or closed, whether buttons are active or inactive, whether lights are on or off, and whether exhaust smoke is emitted normally or abnormally.

[0063] In this embodiment of the invention, the operating status image of the target vehicle can be acquired during the function control process of the control unit of the target vehicle. The vehicle interface image, vehicle button image, vehicle light image, vehicle exhaust smoke image, etc. can be acquired as the vehicle operating status image. Image recognition can be performed on the vehicle operating status image, and the recognized information can be used as vehicle status information. The vehicle status information can be determined by the image content of the vehicle operating status image, and the extracted vehicle status information can be used as the operating status information of the target vehicle.

[0064] In some embodiments of the invention, the vehicle simulation operation instructions for generating test operations include at least one of the following:

[0065] Input events are generated for the test operation and used as vehicle simulation operation commands. The input events include at least one of the following: vehicle infotainment button click event, vehicle infotainment touch event, and vehicle infotainment swipe event.

[0066] For test operations, target operation data in a preset operation dataset is found, and the target operation data is used as vehicle simulation commands. The target operation data in the preset operation dataset is generated by training a pre-trained neural network model based on historical user operation data.

[0067] In this embodiment of the invention, the vehicle simulation operation instruction can be determined for the test operation. In some embodiments, the vehicle simulation operation instruction may include an input event, which may include event information generated by the target vehicle receiving the input event. The input event may include, but is not limited to, vehicle infotainment system button click event, vehicle infotainment system touch event, and vehicle infotainment system swipe event. The pre-configured input event can be found according to the test operation, and the relevant event data of the input event can be used as the vehicle simulation operation instruction. It is understood that the event data of the input event can be directly simulated and generated by the application software. The event data of the transaction event may include input parameters, such as the click position, duration, and touch pressure of the input event.

[0068] In other embodiments of the invention, vehicle simulation operation instructions can be selected and determined within a preset operation dataset through test operations. The preset operation dataset can consist of one or more operation data. Each operation data can be generated by training a neural network model based on historical user operation data. The corresponding operation data can be searched within the preset operation dataset as the target operation data according to the test operation. It is understood that the search can be determined by the correspondence between the test operation and the operation data. The correspondence may include the test operation and the operation data having the same identification information or the same characters.

[0069] Example 3

[0070] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of another automated vehicle testing method provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The embodiments of the present invention describe the process of generating vehicle test results. Figure 3 The method provided in this embodiment of the invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0071] Step 310: Obtain the test task issued by the cloud management platform.

[0072] Step 320: Control the target vehicle to which the vehicle terminal belongs according to the test task, and collect the operating status information of the target vehicle.

[0073] Step 330: Extract the expected results for different test operations within the test task.

[0074] In this embodiment of the invention, a test task may consist of test cases for one or more in-vehicle software. Each test case may include at least test operations set for the in-vehicle software and corresponding expected results. The expected results can be extracted from the test task issued by the cloud management platform. It is understood that a test task may include multiple test operations, and each test operation may have its corresponding warning result.

[0075] Step 340: Extract the running status information and / or control feedback information corresponding to the test operation from the running status information.

[0076] In this embodiment of the invention, the running status information and / or control feedback information corresponding to each test operation can be extracted from the running status information. The control feedback information can be obtained by the control unit that performs the test operation in the target vehicle. The running status information can be obtained by the target vehicle through the image sensor to collect vehicle image information during the execution of the test operation. Each test operation can obtain its corresponding running status information and / or control feedback information as running status information when performing the actual vehicle test corresponding to the task test.

[0077] Step 350: For the test operation, compare the running status information and / or control feedback information with the expected results.

[0078] In this embodiment of the invention, for the same test operation, the corresponding running status information and / or control feedback information can be compared with the expected result to determine whether the parameters corresponding to the running status information and / or control feedback information are consistent with the expected result. The consistency between the running status information and / or control feedback information and the expected result can be used as the comparison result.

[0079] Step 360: Use the comparison results of each test operation as the actual vehicle test results.

[0080] In this embodiment of the invention, the comparison result of each test operation can be obtained. The comparison result may include whether the running status information and / or control feedback information of the corresponding test operation are consistent with or inconsistent with the expected result. The comparison results of all the above test operations can be used together as the actual vehicle test result of the test task.

[0081] Step 370: Upload the real vehicle test results to the cloud management platform so that the cloud management platform can generate a real vehicle test report based on the real vehicle test results.

[0082] The actual vehicle test report can be a detailed record or summary of the test results of the test task. The actual vehicle test report can be generated according to a specified text structure. The actual vehicle test report can also include the test process corresponding to the test task, which can include at least the operating status information of the target vehicle.

[0083] In this embodiment of the invention, the vehicle-mounted terminal can upload the actual vehicle test results to a cloud management platform. The cloud management platform can process the actual vehicle test results into an actual vehicle test report according to a specified text structure. The cloud management platform can then manage this actual vehicle test report for user reading and use. In some embodiments, the vehicle-mounted terminal can also upload the target vehicle's operating status information along with the actual vehicle test results to the cloud management platform, allowing the cloud management platform to include operating status information in the actual vehicle test report to describe the testing process of the test task.

[0084] In this embodiment of the invention, test tasks are acquired from a cloud management platform. The target vehicle is controlled through these test tasks, and its operational status information is collected. The expected results for different test operations within the test tasks are extracted. The operational status information and / or control feedback information corresponding to each test operation are obtained. The expected results are compared with the operational status information and / or control feedback information, and the resulting comparison is used as the actual vehicle test result. This actual vehicle test result is transmitted to the cloud management platform, enabling the platform to generate a corresponding actual vehicle test report. In this embodiment, the test tasks from the cloud management platform are acquired through an in-vehicle terminal, eliminating the need for the actual vehicle to be connected to test equipment. This reduces the physical limitations of actual vehicle testing. The test results are directly determined through the in-vehicle terminal without the need for intervention from a higher-level test system, thus improving the efficiency of actual vehicle testing.

[0085] Example 4

[0086] Figure 4 This is an example diagram of a real-vehicle automated testing method provided in Embodiment 4 of the present invention. In this embodiment, a vehicle or control unit with an Ethernet communication architecture is used as the test object. The test object may be equipped with in-vehicle software, which can realize vehicle function control, such as controlling the lights, controlling the air conditioning, and switching driving modes. The method provided in this embodiment can perform real-vehicle testing on the above-mentioned function control. This testing process can be implemented through application software, and the steps executed by the application software can be as follows:

[0087] 1. Install the application software on the vehicle or control unit to be tested;

[0088] 2. Simulate the actions of manual operation of the vehicle-mounted intelligent terminal through application software, and send the generated operation instructions to the control unit with an Ethernet communication architecture. The control unit may include an XCU. After receiving the operation instructions, the XCU performs relevant function control.

[0089] 3. The application software can communicate with the XCU via CAN / LIN / Ethernet / XCP protocols to obtain the signals fed back by the XCU, thereby comparing the expected results with the feedback results of the XCU, and finally judging the automated test results. This process may include the following steps:

[0090] 3.1 CAN / LIN signal acquisition is achieved by the APP accessing the XCU_A core SDC service via the SSH protocol to obtain the CAN / LIN signal feedback from the XCU_A core SDC;

[0091] 3.2. The APP controls the vehicle-mounted intelligent terminal to send CAN / Ethernet signals to the XCU, and then the APP obtains the CAN / Ethernet signals fed back by the XCU.

[0092] 3.3 For signals sent by the XCU but not received by the vehicle-mounted intelligent terminal node, the APP communicates with the XCU through the XCP protocol, and then compares the expected results of the test cases with the internal variables of the XCU.

[0093] 4. The above testing process is initiated by sending test tasks to the automated testing application software on the vehicle intelligent terminal through the test management platform. After receiving the corresponding task, the application software executes the automated test on the actual vehicle.

[0094] join Figure 4 In this embodiment of the invention, the process of automated testing of a real vehicle is as follows:

[0095] 4.1 Test engineers create test tasks on the test management platform;

[0096] 4.2 Test engineers distribute the created test tasks to the automated test APP on the in-vehicle intelligent terminal through the test management platform;

[0097] 4.3 The automated test APP receives test tasks, downloads and executes test tasks. During task execution, the automated test APP obtains the results fed back by the control unit under test through CAN / LIN / Ethernet protocol, compares the received results with the expected results, and outputs the final test results.

[0098] 4.4 After the test task is completed, the automated test APP will send the test report to the test management platform and notify the test engineer who created the task to view the test report via message. The test is then completed.

[0099] In this embodiment of the invention, the actual vehicle testing process can reduce the application of testing equipment, such as eliminating the need for a host testing system consisting of a computer, CAN device, and connecting harness. This solution can improve the efficiency of actual vehicle testing and reduce the actual vehicle testing cycle.
