Abstract

Event-triggered distributed real-time systems are prohibitively difficult to test due the required test effort. The test effort includes instrumenting the test object, and generating, executing, and analyzing the test results. The test effort can be significantly reduced by the use of an distributed active real-time database, thanks to the transaction concept and the built-in event monitor. The two major problems identified w.r.t. testing are the following. Firstly, whether the test effort is manageable. Secondly, whether the introduced run-time overhead is acceptable, i.e., no critical deadlines are missed due to testing.
