An always increasing number of electronic control units monitor and operate drive-train and other safety related functions in automotive applications. Transferring this kind of functionalities like steering or breaking to these devic-es requires high dependability and reliability during every possible operation scenario. Therefore developing and certifying safety related electronic compo-nents to appropriate specification of standards is a key task. The certification process is a complex, labor-intensive, hence costly but abso-lutely necessary task to certify this kind of products to allow their legal usage. This paper describes a tool framework with a prototype example to demonstrate automated testing targeting certification. The example application to test is a steer-by-wire demonstrator utilizing four electronic control units interconnected via FlexRay to control a mechanical system build using fischertechnik
