Abstract

A computer-implemented method provides for terminating a scenario-based test process of a driver assistance system. The test process comprises a cycle and includes determining critical test cases and parameter combinations thereof. The method includes: performing at least one test of the driver assistance system after each iteration n of the cycle and determining a set of critical test cases; establishing, on that basis, a distance between a first set of critical test cases in the iteration n and a second set of critical test cases from the iteration n−1 or a distance between the first set of critical test cases in the iteration n and a predefined set of critical test cases; and terminating or continuing the cycle of the test process on the basis of a difference between the distance between the first set and the second set and a preset limit.
