Objective
The objective of the experiment is to put into practice an efficient, state-of-the-art test approach and environment, which is modular and thus scaleable to projects of different size but of similar base functionality and with similar requirements regarding reliability, maintainability, and safety. The experiment shall prove whether the application of software test methods and tools result in higher quality software systems, higher efficiency of the testing process ,and reduced efforts for installing and maintaining the target process and production control systems in the steel industry.
THE EXPERIMENT
The test approach, consisting of a test concept and a supporting test and simulation environment, shall cover all system test phases starting from the factory test onto the final acceptance test.
In particular, it is foreseen to provide several sub-projects within the baseline project with tools supporting the test specification, preparation, and performance on system level. Especially for the integrate engineers of the customer in the experiment from the very beginning. In a second step, the test environment will be extended by an efficient simulation system to allow to determine in advance the operational behaviour and the side effects due to changes in the plant configuration as well as in production The last step will be the introduction of the test and simulation environment at site for an even better integration of the end-user.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
The expected impacts are not only more efficiently tested applications, reduced installation time and cots, reduced down time, better maintainability and training facilities for the end-user, but also in general higher quality software systems.
