Abstract

This paper proposes a method to generate test scripts in an automatic manner, based on checklist used for testing embedded systems in the fields. The proposed method can reduce the mistakes which may be introduced during manual generation. In addition, it can generate test scripts to test various mode combinations, which is not possible to be tested by the typical checklist. The test commands in a checklist are transformed into a test script suit referencing the signal values defined in a test command dictionary. In addition, the method to generate test scripts in sequential, double permutation and random manners is proposed useful to test the inter-operations between modes, a series of operations for a specific behavior. The proposed method is implemented and the feasibility is shown through the experiments.
