Adoption of Robot Framework for Software Download testing - Development of tool for Testing Software Downloads and Diagnostics in Automotive Electronic Control Units

Abstract

This degree project had the goal to improve the test reports and test case creation in the software download pod, which is a test environment designed to be able to execute various diagnostic tests without requiring expensive or complex hardware. One of the primary objectives was to allow for the creation of html-formatted reports for better visualization in the development flow. This was done by moving the test setup from a hard-coded python script to using Robot Framework. The project, also called the Robot Controller, was completed to allow for easy triggering by the build server and two test cases covering the main abilities of the environment were created.
