Overview
Elaborate ASPICE SWE.5 work products: software integration strategy, integration test specification, and test results for Automotive SPICE (VDA PAM 4.0).
Getting Started
Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the ASPICE SWE.5 Software Integration and Integration Test skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.
Example Conversation
You: We’re ready to plan software integration and integration tests for SWE.5. We have the software architecture and software requirements. Integration order?
Agent: I’ll help you define the software integration strategy and integration test specification. I need: (1) Integration order — e.g. BSW then RTE then ASW modules (OTA, Boot, Diagnostic); (2) Test environment — host, target, or both; (3) Which software requirements are in scope for integration test.
You: BSW → RTE → OTA, Boot, Diagnostic. We test on target (ECU). All interface requirements are in scope.
Agent: I’ve created
software-integration-strategy.md(order and environment) andsoftware-integration-test-specification.mdwith test cases derived from interface requirements. Each case has ID, objective, preconditions, steps, expected result, and traceability to SW-REQ. I’ve added a results template. When you run the tests, we can fill pass/fail, date, environment; failures can link to SUP.9. Should I add a section for test environment configuration (e.g. RTE stub vs. real BSW)?
Sample Output Excerpt
Below is a representative excerpt from a SWE.5 software integration test specification and results.
Software integration test cases (excerpt)
| ID | Objective | Traceability |
|---|---|---|
| SW-IT-001 | OTA receives calibration package via RTE and triggers Apply | SW-REQ-001 |
| SW-IT-002 | Boot reports application-ready within 2.5 s with all modules loaded | SW-REQ-002 |
| SW-IT-003 | Diagnostic exports data set per UNECE R156 via RTE | SW-REQ-003 |
Software integration test results (excerpt)
| Test ID | Date | Environment | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| SW-IT-001 | 2025-02-16 | Target (ECU) | Pass |
| SW-IT-002 | 2025-02-16 | Target, −40 °C | Pass (2.1 s) |
Validation
This skill does not include extension tools. Validation is performed by following the Validation checklist in the skill workflow: integration strategy covers all software components; every integration test case traces to at least one software requirement or interface; test results are recorded with pass/fail and traceability; failed tests have defect or problem resolution references.
