This master thesis investigates the possibilities to perform software validation tests on ECUs with customer-identical software. Instead of using a ”test specific” software which sends ”test specific” information on the CAN-bus this data is to be extracted from the target CPU by a JTAG debugger and integrated in the testing software CANoe. The benefit of this method is that it eliminates the probl
