Electronic control system, electronic-control-system testing apparatus, and electronic-control-system testing method

An electronic-control-system testing apparatus comprising:

• at least one CPU that executes a testing program including at least one processing hierarchy,
• a secondary storage device that stores the testing program, and
• a RAM configured in such a way as to be capable of storing and reading data for the testing program,
• wherein when behavior of an electronic control system is tested by communicating with the electronic control system that creates requesting data for communication corresponding to processing in a control program to be executed, without making any change between a transmission direction of the communication and a reception direction thereof, requesting data for the communication corresponding to processing in the testing program to be executed is created, while changing the transmission direction of the communication to the reception direction thereof and changing the reception direction of the communication to the transmission direction thereof.

An electronic-control-system testing method in which behavior of an electronic control system is tested based on communication between the electronic control system and a testing apparatus,

• wherein the electronic control system includes
• at least one CPU that executes a control program including at least one processing hierarchy,
• a secondary storage device that stores the control program, and
• a RAM configured in such away as to be capable of storing and reading data for the control program,
• wherein the testing apparatus includes
• at least one CPU that executes a testing program including at least one processing hierarchy,
• a secondary storage device that stores the testing program, and
• a RAM configured in such away as to be capable of storing and reading data for the testing program,
• wherein requesting data for the communication corresponding to processing in the control program to be executed is created without being changed between a transmission direction and a reception direction of the communication, and
• wherein requesting data for the communication corresponding to processing in the testing program to be executed is created, while changing the transmission direction of the communication to the reception direction thereof and changing the reception direction of the communication to the transmission direction thereof.
