Tutorial: Back-to-back Testing AUTOSAR & Simulink
13/10/2021
Back-to-back Testing with TPT is straightforward If you want to develop your system with Simulink and you want to it back-to-back with AUTOSAR Software Components
Testing in MiL, SiL, PiL, HiL and vehicle with TPT
TPT is independent of the tool environment in which the software is going to be tested. That means you can use the test cases created with TPT in MiL, SiL, PiL, HiL, and also in a vehicle. If you want to use a test environment not supported in TPT yet, we will find an individual integration solution for you.
Technically, test execution with TPT is based on a virtual machine (TPT-VM) — that is the same for all test environments supported by TPT. Several platform adapters are available to integrate the TPT-VM in different test environments.
Don’t worry about adapting test cases when switching to another test environment. Just create your test cases and select the desired test environment in TPT.
Test environments of TPT
Model-in-the-loop
(MiL)
MiL-tests in TPT can be executed on MATLAB/Simulink, TargetLink, and ASCET. Analysis of your model interface, the generation of a test harness and test execution: every step is automated by TPT.
Software-in-the-loop
(SiL)
C-code can directly be tested with TPT. Also AUTOSAR software components can be tested with TPT as well as C-code that has automatically been generated from Simulink, TargetLink, or ASCET models.
Processor-in-the-loop
(PiL)
PiL-tests can be performed with TPT on different architectures by coupling TPT closely to the Universal Debug Engine (UDE) by PLS, or Trace32 by Lauterbach. PiL-tests via Simulink are also possible.
Hardware-in-the-loop
(HiL)
TPT is connectable to dSPACE HiL, Simulink Realtime, Concurrent iHawk, NI Veristand, CANoe or LABCAR HiL.
Dependent on the HiL, the TPT-VM runs on a control-PC and communication via ASAM HiL API or on real-time capable hardware.
Automated Driving Test
It is possible to establish a communication between TPT and a vehicle. Parallel driver interaction is possible via acoustic message or graphical display.
Jenkins
TPT tests can easily be executed in continuous integration/testing environments.
For Jenkins please visit Jenkins.io (TPT) including Jenkins pipelines.
Batch Run & Console
For batch test execution a command line interface is available: e.g. tpt.exe –run build <tpt-file> <Execution Config>. For more information please use tpt.exe –help or visit the User Guide.

Tutorial: Simulink Model Testing with the TPT Toolbox
07/10/2021
If you are using Simulink for MiL Testing with TPT you make your life simpler by using the TPT Toolbox. The TPT toolbox makes it easier to set up TPT projects for testing Simulink models. To illustrate this, we have created a short video tutorial.
TPT 17: DiagRA D Node Integrates TPT and Diagnostic Tool
29/09/2021
The new version of TPT can connect to DiagRA D during the test execution to perform diagnostic requests. Read diagnostic data from within TPT.
