Automated System Testing and Evaluation of Fieldbus Interfaces

摘要

In order to create better solutions for automated system testing of fieldbusinterfaces, we created simulated system environments that can interact with multiplehardware devices. A suite of automated system tests were then run against these simulatedenvironments in order verify against the formal specifications of the fieldbus interface. Afterfive iterations of testing and verification of specifications, results indicate that automatedsystem testing that rely on simulated environments can be used to test functionality andstability of fieldbus interfaces.
