Automation of d-bus communication testing for bluetooth profiles

A system for testing operations in an electronic control unit, the system comprising one or more circuits or processors in a first device, said one or more circuits or processors being operable to:

• in an automated testing tool hosted by a first device:
• read test input data from text in an input file, for testing operations of a second device, wherein said second device comprises two or more layers of software including a Bluetooth module, that communicate via a D-bus;
• establish one or more secure shell sessions with said second device;
• send one or more function calls for said testing operations of said second device to said second device via one or more of said secure shell sessions, based on said read test input data;
• receive by said automated testing tool, return information from said second device via one or more of said secure shell sessions, wherein said return information corresponds to said operations of said second device responsive to said one or more function calls for said testing operations of said second device;
• and
• output by said automated testing tool, text in an output file comprising one or both of:
• verdict information corresponding to said testing operations of said second device;
• and
• all or a portion of said return information received from said second device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon one or more instructions for testing operations in an electronic control unit, said one or more instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform steps comprising:

• in an automated testing tool hosted by a first device:
• reading test input data from text in an input file, for testing operations of a second device, wherein said second device comprises two or more layers of software including a Bluetooth module, that communicate via a D-bus;
• establishing one or more secure shell sessions with said second device;
• sending one or more function calls for said testing operations of said second device to said second device via one or more of said secure shell sessions, based on said read test input data;
• receiving by said automated testing tool, return information from said second device via one or more of said secure shell sessions, wherein said return information corresponds to said operations of said second device responsive to said one or more function calls for testing operations of said second device;
• and
• outputting by said automated testing tool, text in an output file comprising one or both of:
• verdict information corresponding to said testing operations of said second device;
• and
• all or a portion of said return information received from said second device.
