To cover the shortage of satisfying exception test cases’ execution condition of traditional real equipment test environment,a kind of embedded software test environment platform for engineering equipment based on CAN bus is proposed. First introduces the system architecture of software test center,presents the function implementation and advantages of software test environment platform. Then utilize this environment platform to perform software test for a certain type of display terminal,built the simulation model and configure bus interface based on requirement analysis,and compile the test script task. Finaly list the problems found during the software test procedure. The software test environment platform could provide exception test environment,shorten the test period and increase the test efficiency.
