Overview
Manual testing cannot scale for modern vehicles with 100+ ECUs and millions of test cases. This course teaches you to build robust, maintainable test automation frameworks for every stage of the automotive V-cycle.
You'll master the most widely used automotive test automation tools - ECU-TEST for HIL/SIL, Python (pytest) for flexible scripting, CAPL for CANoe-based tests, and Robot Framework for keyword-driven approaches.
The course emphasizes real-world patterns: parameterized tests, data-driven testing, requirement-linked test cases, parallel execution, and automated reporting for ASPICE compliance.
