Software resource usage testing, including execution time bounds and memory, is a mandatory validation step during the integration of safety-related real-time systems. However, the inherent complexity of Autonomous Driving (AD) systems challenges current practice for resource usage testing. This paper exposes the difficulties to perform resource usage testing for AD frameworks by analyzing a complex and critical module of an AD framework, and provides some guidelines and practical evidence on how resource usage testing can be effectively performed, thus enabling end users to validate their safety-related real-time AD frameworks.
