Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating and refining simulation scenarios. For example, the method includes generating multiple base scenarios, each including one or more constant and one or more variable parameters. For each of the base scenarios, the method includes generating scenario variations, each of which is associated with a unique combination of values assigned to its base scenario's parameters. The method further includes determining a system boundary in a parameter space defined by the variable parameters, wherein the system boundary divides the parameter space into a region including successful scenario variations and a region including unsuccessful scenario variations, and generating additional scenario variations within a threshold distance of the system boundary. The method further includes simulating operation of an autonomous vehicle (AV) using one or more generated scenario variations.

Automated generation and refinement of variation parameters for simulation scenarios

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for detecting anomalies during software testing. The methods include generating a plurality of test reports for the software program by executing one or more test cases on a plurality of versions of the software program, generating a control chart based on the plurality of test reports, generating an alert when at least one testing characteristic includes an anomaly over the plurality of versions of the software program as determined based on the control chart. The control chart includes a plot associated with at least one testing characteristic of the software program, and a historical context associated with execution of the one or more test cases on the plurality of versions of the software program.

Systems and methods for monitoring progression of software versions and detection of anomalies

At least one weighting value is determined in a manner that is influenced by a vehicle user. A maximum released power, which a predefined electrical consumer of the motor vehicle may consume, is determined as a function of the weighting value. The power consumption of the electrical consumer is controlled as a function of the maximum power that is released.
