Although AUTOSAR provides a standard for exchanging system description files difficulties often arise during data exchange. This applies to both data exchange between OEMs and suppliers and data exchange between different AUTOSAR tools. Early in the development process it is often not automatically checked whether the data is correct. This means that incomplete or inconsistent ARXML files might be exchanged. This in turn results in a time loss and additional work as the errors might be found late during testing must be reported fixed at their source and the exchange repeated.
Scope of the thesis work
To achieve a higher level of quality before exchange a manual or automatic validation of the data is needed.
The data must be verified as complete for example incomplete data is missing/mismatching data types or init values or missing/mismatching elements in the bus specification.
In addition to completeness semantic correctness must be checked. This can be done by using AUTOSAR constraints which define semantic rules based on the AUTOSAR schema. It makes sense to also include additional semantic checks. For example that init values lie in a relevant value range and that relevant units are included.
The tool kit shall be possible to run manually or start as a gate job in the CI both cases a validation report shall provide information about all found errors including detailed information with precise and helpful error messages as well as direct links between the error description and the involved component.
