Test Automation for an embedded system

Mannarino Systems & Software Inc. （Mannarino）是一家总部位于蒙特利尔的公司，最近开始研究和开发嵌入式软件产品。嵌入式软件将是一个产品家族，将沿着产品线（客户定制，目标硬件平台）发展，具有高度可配置性，并符合航空航天工业的标准接口。MANNARINO目前正在开发和测试该嵌入式软件的原型，随着项目的进展，测试将涉及更多的功能，更多的目标处理器（仿真，硬件和更多配置）。因此，需要一个能够处理这种复杂性的测试环境，并为测试执行和评估提供高自动化水平，至少在最初是这样。在项目结束时，应该有一个一致的测试环境，它支持嵌入式软件的持续集成和测试，并处理产品系列特性和变化的固有特性。总的来说，该项目旨在显著减少分配给与嵌入式软件开发相关的测试活动的时间和（人力）资源

Mannarino Systems & Software Inc. (MANNARINO) is a Montreal-based company that has recently started research and development on an embedded software product. The embedded software will be a product family that shall evolve along product lines (customer customizations, target hardware platforms), be highly configurable and compliant with standard interfaces in the aerospace industry. MANNARINO is currently developing and testing a prototype of that embedded software, and as the project progresses, tests will have to involve more features, more target processors (emulation, hardware, and more configurations). There is thus a need for a testing environment able to handle that kind of complexity and providing high automation levels, at least initially, for test execution and evaluation. At the end of the project, there should be a coherent testing environment that supports continuous integration and testing of the embedded software and addresses specificities inherent to a product family features and variations. Overall, the project aims at significantly reducing time and (human) resources allocated to testing activities related to the development of the embedded software.**
