VSpy ROBOTO

HIL / VIL Test Automation and Restbus Simulation

Overview

Your test rig already runs on Intrepid hardware. Now your test automation can too. VSpy ROBOTO combines HIL/VIL test automation and restbus simulation in a single package, built on open-source Robot Framework, with native keywords for CAN FD, Automotive Ethernet and UDS. No proprietary test language. No second tool for the bus.

Define the topology and scenario once in YAML, and ROBOTO’s AI agent generates hundreds of executable test cases, taking test development from weeks to days. Run the suite on the neoVI FIRE 3 Compute with no test PC on the bench, or on Windows, Linux and macOS. Every run produces standard Robot Framework reports that drop straight into your CI pipeline.

Applications and Use Cases

HIL validation: automate ECU tests while ROBOTO simulates the rest of the network
VIL testing: reuse the same suite on the Intrepid hardware in the vehicle
Infotainment and SOA: exercise head units and services over Automotive Ethernet
Continuous testing: nightly regression from CI, with no operator at the bench
Fast ramp-up: engineers new to Robot Framework wrote about 29 tests in a 2.5-hour training session

Tests That Read Like Plain English

*** Test Cases ***
Door Unlock Over CAN FD
    Start Restbus         body_network.yaml
    Send CAN FD Message   DoorCmd    unlock=1
    Wait For Signal       DoorStatus   unlocked
    Read UDS DID          0xF190

Each line is a keyword. ROBOTO supplies the CAN FD, Ethernet, UDS and restbus keywords.
