Internship: Common framework black-box and software testing in Eindhoven

Functiebeschrijving

In order to make our software easier to re-use, to test and to maintain, we introduced a new software architecture. This architecture is inspired by the mobile world and introduces the concept of an “app” running on top of a platform abstraction layer.
With our software tests, we validate our “apps” as model in the loop, at the level of the platform abstraction layer.
Our colleagues at the Test Department validate the functionality on the hardware, executing so-called black box tests.
In principle, hardware inputs and outputs (in our case these are often CAN signals) can be easily mapped to inputs and outputs at the software abstraction layer. Therefore test vectors between “app” software testing and black box testing look very similar.  We see opportunities to create a common framework, facilitating the re-use of test vectors between black-box testing and software testing.
This task includes:

• Study and analysis of the software architecture as defined by DAF
• Study and analysis of the current way of “app” software testing
• Study and analysis of the current way of black box testing
• Provide a framework to develop and run test cases with chosen solution, re-using test vectors (either re-using the black box test vectors on software level or re-using software test vectors on black box level)
• Document the solution and include how-to documentation for our engineers

• Hook-up the framework to our automated Jenkins environment, both for software testing and black box validation
