Lifelong Automated Testing: A Collaborative Framework for Checking Industrial Products Along Their Lifecycle

Abstract

With more and more intelligence and cutting edge applications embedded, the need for the accurate validation of industrial products from early stage of conception to commercial releases has become crucial. We present a new approach for automating the validation of critical and complex systems, in which tests sequences can be at first derived both from the modeling of the system under test and the properties to check, and then easily updated according to evolutions of the product or the usage requirements. The approach is being proofed in validating high-class sensor prototypes for the automotive industry, which in particular illustrates how operational issues related to the different level of abstraction between textual specifications and effective test routines can be solved.
