Conclusion & Outlook With vehicles becoming more software-defined, the need for higher quality and more automated security testing is evident. A flexible, easy-to-use, and remote-capable test platform not only improves the current industry testing capabilities, but it can also potentially provide easier access to logistically challenging and costly hardware. This allows the industry access a larger pool of talent for testing and allows more people to learn about automotive components. Furthermore, we see potential in leveraging this type of cloud-based platform to reduce costs and increase participation for global hacking competitions and Bug Bounty programs. That being said, the ideal testing platform is one that the community will actually use and implement in their research, development, and production. In this work, we propose several well-defined methodologies to build a useful and configurable remote testing platform. However, as the needs of the automotive security industry changes, this testing platform should be able to adapt and be as flexible as possible. Once other testing platforms mature, future work should investigate the different underlying technologies and features used to build these platforms and explore relevant trade-offs and limitations.
