Method of Automatically Evaluating a Proper Functioning of a Computing System Configured as a Centralized On-Board Computing System for a Vehicle

A method of automatically evaluating a proper functioning of a computing system configured as a centralized on-board computing system for a vehicle to centrally control a variety of different functionalities of the vehicle, the computing system comprising:

• a computing platform having a plurality of hardware entities, and
• a plurality of different computer programs being configured for individual or concurrent execution on the computing platform to enable one or more of said functionalities of the vehicle;
• and
• the method comprising:
• assigning to or accessing for one or more of the hardware entities an associated set of one or more individual property attributes representing individually or jointly one or more technical properties of the respective hardware entity;
• assigning to or accessing, individually for one or more of the computer programs or jointly for a subset comprising two or more of the computer programs, an associated set of one or more requirement attributes representing individually or jointly one or more specific hardware demands that the computer program or subset of computer programs, respectively, requires for its proper execution on the computing platform;
• and
• comparing the respective individual hardware demands of one or more of the computer programs or a combined hardware demand of the subset of computer programs, respectively, to the technical properties of the computing platform as defined by the property attributes to determine an evaluation result indicating whether the respective hardware demand can be met by the computing system.
