To ensure the stability and reliability of the automotive electronic control unit, it is necessary to conduct detailed functional tests on each electronic control module. In the face of a wide range of automotive electronic modules with increasingly complex functions and faster iterative updating speed, the traditional way of developing a test system specifically for specific ECU Test effort has been difficult to meet the development of automotive electronic technology. Therefore, this paper analyzes the Test automation technology of automotive electronic control unit, and strives to find a method to effectively solve the problems of the test system that cannot be platform based, poor hardware compatibility, low level of intelligence, and long development cycle.
