Test specifications for the CANoe test execution machine can be programmed in a simple programming language (CAPL) specially tailored for testing distributed systems, or they can be defined in an XML language.
The structure of the test specification is identical in both cases. The stimulation and evaluation of events needed to test ECU functionality are encapsulated in test cases. These are organized into groups. The overall test specification is referred to as a test module. On the test module, test groups or test cases level additional conditions can be formulated (Invariants). These conditions are evaluated in the particular context in parallel to the actual test execution.
The supplemental test and stimulus functions contained in the Test Service Library (TSL) simplify setup and execution of your own test scenarios. Besides supporting automated tests, CANoe also supports manual execution of test cases, e.g. by using Interactive Generators or panels.
