Description

System, method and computer program product for testing software of a vehicle Technical Field Systems, methods, and computer program products consistent with exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to vehicle software testing, and more particularly, to writing test steps in vehicle software testing. Background In software development, it is necessary to test software to ensure that the software functions in an intended manner, meets specified requirements, and reliably functions in various scenarios. Software testing is an important part of the software development lifecycle (SDLC: software Development LIFE CYCLE) that is performed to identify defects, errors, or faults (bugs) in the software before the software is deployed in the actual system. Testing of software associated with a vehicle may be performed by designing test cases that include multiple test steps that operate within a test environment. The results of the work of the test cases within the test environment may then be generated and viewed by the user to evaluate the software. In the related art, test cases are designed by inputting and typing test steps in a programming language such as Python. However, such a process requires that the user have extensive knowledge about the associated programming language, and users without such knowledge may have difficulty designing test cases, whereby the risk of time and errors may increase. Thus, there is a need for a system that allows users to quickly and efficiently design test cases without requiring knowledge about the programming language.
