Abstract

In this paper a method of supporting integration testing based on logging the operation of an embedded system's software written in the C language is outlined. Its purpose is to facilitate the process of integration testing and partially automate it. It enables automatic verification of tests described with UML language's sequence diagrams by means of a log analyzer based on state machines running in parallel. A class of UML diagrams is also defined to which the abovementioned method is applicable. A short overview of the proposed method's advantages and disadvantages is given. Finally, an example is provided of an embedded system for which the described method can be used.
