Description

Planning and creating of a software for regression testing of drive firmware via the CAN bus interface. A PC-based test program (test suite) executes the software evaluation. Through the test program, different firmware versions are always exposed to the same test conditions. The test sequence was structured in such a way that further tests can be added and others can be removed or masked out.
