Abstract:

Methods and apparatus are provided for managing test procedures for a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation environment. The apparatus comprises an input interface for receiving input from a user, a first processor coupled to the input interface and in operable communication with the HIL simulation environment. The first processor is configured to generate a test sequence comprising a plurality of test procedure references based on input from the user, wherein each test procedure reference corresponds to a test procedure that comprises instructions for issuing commands to, and receiving data from, the HIL simulation environment, and sequentially execute each referenced test procedure within the generated test sequence in cooperation with the HIL simulation environment, in response to a command from the user.
