Abstract

The goal of this research is the study of a methodology to convert design-level specifications of complex embedded systems to system-level functional tests for direct instrumentation; the general context is industrial end-of-production environment (EOP) and the approach uses official and de facto industrial standards (e.g., Unified Modeling Language, UML) and advanced techniques from academic research. The research suggests process guidelines, exploring the generation of the timed test sequences from a UML model, the translation phases, and addressing the problem of timing and environment creation. A case study of a significantly complex application is provided directly from the industrial world thanks to an agreement between Politecnico’s Testgroup and Magneti Marelli Electronic Systems, research and development site of Venaria Reale, an international leader in automotive applications.
