Deliverables

Automated bad practice resolution recommender for CPS (opens in new window)

The deliverable includes the description and prototypal implementation of an approach and tool for the automated resolution of bad practices in a CI/CD pipeline for CPS. Once the bad practice has been detected, this tool leverages the body of knowledge collected in D3.3 as well as historical data to recommend pipeline repairs.

Prototype of a toolset enabling balancing of co-simulation and physical testing (opens in new window)

The toolset integrates solutions to balance testing based on simulation and testing in physical environments. It relies on machine learning to evaluate and improve the quality of simulation predictions and minimize physical testing.

Build schedule tool prototype (opens in new window)

The deliverable provides a tool that determines which type of test to use at build stage depending on the changes applied to both test and production code. The build will consider both manually-written tests or those generated in D5.3.

Prototype of a trace diagnostics toolset for checking signal-based properties of CPS (opens in new window)

The toolset will extend run-time verification techniques to provide informative feedback to the user in case run-time verification yields a negative verdict.

Prototype of a toolset supporting automated testing in co-simulated environments (opens in new window)

The toolset will leverage model-based techniques, meta-heuristic search, and machine learning to drive testing in co-simulated environments. It will integrate meta-heuristic search and machine learning to select test inputs based on specification models.

Prototype of evolutionary toolsets enhanced by machine learning to support security vulnerability testing (opens in new window)

The toolset will automatically identify inputs triggering vulnerabilities. It will rely on machine learning to process software data such as source code and change information.

Automated bad practice detectors for CPS DevOps pipelines (opens in new window)

The deliverable includes the description and prototypal implementation of an approach and tool for the automated identification of bad practices in DevOps CI/CD pipelines targeting CPS. The detector will feature antipatterns elicited in D3.2 for which the automated detection is deemed feasible and appropriate.

AI-based Prototypes supporting CPS selfadaptability (opens in new window)

COSMOS aims to increase CPS Self-adaptability to Diverse Contexts. Thus, D6.4 aims at delivering a framework integrating a set of metrics and tools, which are adequate for improving CPS self-adaptability to unprecedented contextual scenarios.

Prototype of a toolset supporting automated testing in physical environments (opens in new window)

The toolset will leverage machine learning to enable automated testing in physical environments. Machine learning will enable the definition of strategies for the generation of safe test inputs, the identification of solutions for the prediction of execution results, and the automated identification of failures.

Prototypes for the Quality Assessment and Monitoring of CPS in the Field (opens in new window)

To better monitor and assess CPS development and evolution, COSMOS aims to integrate DevOps tools based on CPS specific test mutations and coverage criteria, code/test smells (partially investigated in WP 5), anti-patterns (investigated also in WP 3), and vulnerabilities that can affect/concern HIL activities. Thus, D6.3 aims at delivering a framework integrating a set of metrics and tools, which are more adequate for CPS monitoring, as they enable a better CPS quality assessment as well as the detection and self-recovery of different forms of CPS degradation.

Tools enabling the Two-speed DevOps cycle for CPS (opens in new window)

COSMOS extends traditional DevOps pipelines developing AI-based solutions to support short and expensive DevOps cycles for CPS. Thus, D6.2 aims at delivering a prioritization framework designed and implemented to contribute to the reduction of testing costs of CPS. This framework leverages a set of metrics and tools integrated into CPS DevOps pipelines, that allow to select/prioritize the CPS changes that should be verified within the fast and/or the slow cycle, focusing on the one that can lead to failures and unexpected behaviors.

Test generation tool prototype (opens in new window)

The deliverable consists of a test case generation tool that synthetizes unit-level tests from high-level, expensive tests. The tool will rely on meta-heuristics, static and dynamic seeding, and test carving techniques.

Prototype handling CPS Change & Behavioral models in CI/CD pipelines for CPS (opens in new window)

COSMOS extends traditional DevOps pipelines to cater for specific failures occurring in CPS, this for supporting their automated detection, prediction, and fixing. Thus, D6.1 aims at delivery of tools for the automated extraction of change and behavioral models, as well as tools leveraging these models to enable the CPS behavior/failure monitoring, prediction, and self-healing.

Prototype of a toolset for run-time verification of CPS (opens in new window)

The toolset will provide run-time verification techniques for checking signal-based temporal properties on CPS execution traces both in offline and in online settings.

Complete framework of test generation and build schedule tooling (opens in new window)

The deliverable extends and completes D5.3 and D5.4 in two ways. First, it will include additional testing strategies for CPS: (1) test oracle enhancer, (2) test case generation based on User Feedbacks. Second, this delivery will update the build schedule based on the new type of tests generated in this deliverable.

Complete framework, refining quality assessment and self-adaptability solutions (opens in new window)

COSMOS's initial frameworks and tools are refined and evaluated, over the course of the project, by considering the COSMOS's case studies; these activities will be performed in an incremental, continuous manner, to help to consolidate and further assess the implemented quality assessment and self-adaptability solutions.

Prototype of a toolset for specification-based functional security testing of CPS (opens in new window)

The toolset will rely on high-level specifications of attacks and security properties to automate security testing.

Prototype of a toolset for code analysis of CPS (opens in new window)

The toolset will include analysis techniques to enable security audit of CPS code bases.

Prototype of a toolset for machine learning-enabled detection of vulnerabilities in CPS (opens in new window)

The toolset will rely on machine learning to identify inputs triggering anomalous execution flows that characterize vulnerabilities. The analysis will be based on data collected at development time and in the field.

Prototype tool for the smart allocation of jobs on HiL and simulators, and build prioritiziation (opens in new window)

The deliverable includes the description and prototypal implementation of a plugin for CI/CD servers (e.g., available for Jenkins or other popular pieces of technology) capable of exploiting the (limited) availability of simulators and HiL, and consequently allocate CI/CD jobs on them, by also prioritizing incoming builds based on their predicted execution time and on other features.
