Objective
In the Aerospace Industry product costs and time-to-market are today 2 key competitive levers. Helicopter is a very software intensive product, in which the avionics software contributes to the product costs by more than 30% and to the overall time-to-market by 40%. The software Testing and Validation activities significantly contribute to the above mentioned high avionics software costs (50%) and lead-time (40%).
The overall objective of the TRUST PIE is to improve the Testing and Validation Process, in order to reduce the related costs by at least 15% and to cut the avionics software development time by at least 10%. The emphasis is on improving the process, rather than on just automating some of the testing/validation activities.
THE EXPERIMENT
In order to achieve this objective, requirements traceability will be exploited, as the mean to directly and un-ambiguously relate subsets of testing and validation sequences to specific subsets of requirements. The goal is to keep track of what and how should be tested when requirements change or when amendments to faults in a product Release/Variant have to be propagated to all the other relevant active Releases/Variants.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
In the context above the expected impacts are:
reduction of the development costs of new version/variant
improvement of the testing effectiveness and consistent reduction of testing effort
improvement of the global software life cycle efficiency due to better traceability support
Participants:
Agusta - Un'Azienda Finmeccanica SpA: Helicopter manufacturer, having in charge the development of both mechanical and avionics
TXT Ingegneria Informatica: software house with large experience in software engineering practice and products development involved as external assistance provider.
