Abstract: The testing of embedded software for household electric appliances is been dependent on manual testing for a long time. It results in many problems such as low efficiency, difficult personnel training, and test quality depending on personnel quality. In order to solve the problems, an automatic test platform for household electric appliances based on hardware interface (HI for short) embedded software is proposed. The system platform is used in hardware and software integration testing which is a branch of embedded testing. It forms a closed loop of input and output signals through the sampling of the hardware output interface, and the assignment of the input interface. Then it can realize automatic test according the test case of the upper computer.
