Model-driven Simulation Testing Method for Real-time Embedded Software

摘要

Real-time embedded software is used in many areas. How to test it effectively is attached importance to by many tests. In this paper, real-time embedded software simulation testing environment, testing data generation and test drive methods are studied firstly. And then, a Model-driven simulation testing method is presented, in which simulation testing models are acted as basic units of the simulation testing environment, and testing data generation, testing result collection and validation can be achieved by using simulation models. With the method, the structure of the simulation testing environment becomes more clear and modularized; by replacing models with real equipments, the simulation testing environment can be updated easily; and the flexibility and versatility of simulation testing can be enhanced largely.
