Automatic script generation process for testing the validity of operating software for an onboard aircraft system and application device

摘要

Method for automatic script generation for testing the validity of operational software of a system onboard an aircraft and device for implementing the same. The aspects of the disclosed embodiments relate to a script generation method for testing the validity of operational software of a system onboard an aircraft, wherein it includes the following steps: a) identifications by a developer of valid test cases in an interactive manner by positioning an entry point and a stop point respectively at the start and at the end of a function of the operational software being tested. b) observing and recording states of variables of said function via the position of the stop point and the entry point. c) automatically generating a test script firstly by analyzing the states of variables observed during the identification of the test cases and secondly by generating a test script in the form of a source code. d) automatically executing in a test execution environment, tests for the generated test script.
