Creation of Testing Processes for a Verification of Safety Relevant Vehicle Systems

The ISO 26262:2018 standard requires new, more comprehensive test procedures for the development of safety relevant vehicle systems. Complex Safety Mechanisms have an electrical and a software part for the detections and the reaction. The verification for these real-time diagnostics is also complex. One required verification method is the fault injection testing. For this method an appropriate and detailed testing approach is required. This paper shows how to deduce these testing processes for safety relevant vehicle systems. Therefore, the detailed approach is derived. The aim is to create a detailed workflow for all phases for any kind of system modules. As an application example, an automotive project for an actuator control module is considered.
