Abstract-Mechatronic systems integrate mechanical, electrical and software subsystems. They are increasingly important in mission-critical infrastructures in different domains including automotive, healthcare, energy and transportation sectors. As such, the adequate testing and validation of such infrastructures are of prime importance. Mechatronic systems testing has been supported by different isolated industrial and research approaches including automated test infrastructures, model-based testing, and test execution engines. While these approaches have individual benefits, they are usually applied in isolation, suffering from different weaknesses. This paper reports on an integrated model-driven approach for mechatronic systems testing, where existing approaches are combined and enhanced. The result is unprecedented levels of automation and testability. We discuss the design and implementation of our approach, illustrating its use with a hybrid calculator example.

“…For instance, testing by fault-injection is performed by the tools described in [5] and [6]. The object-oriented scenariobased test framework shown in [7] places its emphasis upon test re-usability in case of product families or new product versions. In contrast to our solution, which performs blackbox functional tests, their approach requires knowledge of the underlying software structure of the tested system.…”

A system for automatic testing of embedded software in undergraduate study exercises

As student numbers in embedded systems lab courses increase, it becomes more and more time-consuming to verify the correctness of their homework and exam programs. Automatic verification can vastly improve the speed and quality of such tests. This paper describes a system that can carry out black-box tests to verify whether the embedded software running on a target system meets predefined requirements. To this aim, we employ a special test board using an ATmega128 microcontroller which is connected to both the target system and to a host computer. Tests can be selected and started remotely, the results are presented to the user on the host. Monitoring and control via Internet is also easily possible. A special meta-language is used to describe the correct behavior of the tested program, and this description is compiled and downloaded to the test system via a standard RS-232 interface, where the test is executed. The same interface is used to control the tests and for transfer of data and end results.

Testing is difficult and expensive, and testing distributed system even more difficult due to issues such as interoperability, collaboration, synchronization, timing, and concurrency. A tester often needs to spend significant time in developing lengthy testing code to ensure that the System Under Test (SUn is reasonably well tested. This paper proposes an Ollject-Oriented (00) framework to test distributed system rapidly and adaptively by using scenario modeling, state modeling, verification patterns, design patterns, regression testing, ripple effect analysis, simulation, automated test execution, and remote testing using TCPIIP or SOAP. Finally, this paper uses a supply-chain example to illustrate the key concepts.
