SOVD is more than just a new diagnostic interface – it marks a paradigm shift in vehicle diagnostics. While previous diagnostic systems were characterized by technical limitations, the approach of providing diagnostic functions as web services opens up entirely new possibilities for efficiency, integration, and innovation. The combination of OTX and SOVD unites standardized diagnostic logic with modern, service-oriented vehicle communication. This article introduces SOVD and
How can we ensure that the test logic actually does what it's supposed to? OTX, as a programming language, must be tested – just like any other code. The test tests the test – it sounds crazy, but it's necessary: because wherever test logic is implemented, verification is also needed! Contents Introduction Fundamentals of software testing What are unit tests? How do you write a unit test? Tool support Conclusion Introduction To ensure that the test logic programmed in OTX b
OTX is a domain-specific programming language (DSL) for the reliable description of interchangeable and executable test logic in the automotive industry. The standard has established itself as a platform-independent foundation for describing diagnostic and test procedures and is used industry-wide. This article provides an overview of the OTX standard, explains application areas and target groups, and highlights the advantages and typical use cases that make OTX a central com
