What was the challenge?

A lift controller consists of a controller that is connected to and communicates with numerous devices (car and floor panels, door controllers, shaft information systems, etc.) via a field bus. The controller contains the intelligence to collect and evaluate the calls and move the car to the required floors. In addition, there are countless monitoring, safety, diagnostic and comfort functions that are constantly being expanded. The safety requirements and guidelines are huge and different for different countries.

The elevator software is continuously expanded and new regulations are implemented. New elevator components are integrated into the control software.

Test automation is being driven forward. For this purpose, a gRPC interface is implemented between the lift control software and the simulation software, which can be used to query statuses and feed in malfunctions.

Hundreds of test scripts perform automated tests cyclically and ensure software quality.

The existing unit tests are integrated into a Visual Studio solution to visualize the tests and increase debugging convenience.
