Test Program Generator for AUTOSAR OS
Kazuto Shigihara, Shinya Honda, Hiroaki Takada · 2017
The Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) has recently beenintroduced to most automotive software in Europe with the aim of reducing the development cost. AUTOSAR is a standardized software platform for automotive softwarethat consists of more than 80 modules with a variety of functions. The real-time operating system (OS) is a module in AUTOSAR that plays a critical role in these modules, and it contains a memory protection function for functional safety. Although automotive software including AUTOSAR OS needto be highly dependable, tests involving memory protectionface a number of challenges, such as the high cost of test programs and long execution times.In this paper, we examine and introduce a test program generator that solves these problems, and test its effectiveness. To test our approach, we used a commercial implementation of the AUTOSAR OS. The results showed that our approach can solve the above-mentioned problems andalso be adapted to any implementation compliant with AUTOSAR OS specifications.
