Digital TV software, receiver system for digital broadcasting, processes huge MPEG-2 TS formatted data that has variable hierarchy. Because of complexity and enormity of MPEG-2 TS, it is difficult for user to generate test data manually. Generating of test data is not only expensive and time consuming but also requires expert knowledge of MPEG-2 standard. In this paper, we implemented the tool that generates the MPEG-2 TS formatted test data for Digital TV software. Using this tool, user ran get reliable test data without extensive knowledge of MPEG-2 standard. Also, database mechanism that our tool based on supports variable hierarchy of MPEG-2 TS.

The input of digital TV software is the Transport Stream, which utilizes the moving picture compression technique, MPEC-2 (Moving Picture Experts Groups-2). MPEG-2 TS consists of the complicated table hierarchy and internal relationships, as well as the various restrictions with regards to system standard of digital TV software in determining the field values of transport stream. However, the general MPEG-2 TS generation tool produces transport streams solely based on the MPEG-2 TS specification itself, and does not consider the interaction between modulo features or modules themselves, which construct digital TV software. In this paper, we propose a method to systematically generate MPEG-2 TS test data, namely‘Test Stream’, for digital TV software. We present the experiment result where the test stream derived from our developed tool according to the proposed method was applied to the actual digital TV software settop-box, and then analyze the result. Apart from other existing MPEG-2 TS generation tools, the advantage of our method is that not only is it capable of generating various levels of test streams including digital TV software module, integration, and system testing, but also detecting errors and analyzing their causes.

디지털 방송 시대가 개막되었다. Digital TV 소프트웨어는 디지털 방송을 위한 수신기 시스템이다. 복잡한 입력 데이터를 처리하기 때문에 시스템 자체도 복잡하고 방대해 Digital TV 소프트웨어를 테스트하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 본 논문은 MPEG-2 TS 표준 형식의 입력 데이터를 이용하여 테스트 데이터를 생성했던 기존 연구를 확장하여 Digital TV 소프트웨어의 특정 모듈을 테스트 하는 방안에 대해 제안한다. Digital TV 소프트웨어의 모듈을 분석하여 테스트 시나리오를 추출하고 테스트 시나리오에 MPEG-2 TS와의 연관관계를 적용하여 데스트 데이터를 생성한다. 본 논문에서 제안만 기법을 사용하면 D-TV 소프트웨어의 특정 모듈을 테스트 하는데 적합한 테스트 데이터를 선정할 수 있을 것이다

본 논문에서는 테스트 자동화 도구를 사용하여 디지털 TV의 시스템 테스트 수행 시 테스트 결과의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 시스템 테스트 자동화 도구는 디지털 TV의 출력화면을 실시간으로 캡쳐 한 후, 정상 상태의 출력화면과 비교, 분석을 통해 테스트 수행 결과의 성공/실패 판정을 자동으로 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 테스트 도구의 수행 및 수행결과에 대한 판정의 신뢰성을 높이기 위한 방법으로 DTV 화면 출력시에 정지 화면으로 이루어진 동영상이 출력되도록 방송 신호인 비트 스트림을 제작하여, 디지털 TV에 입력하여 테스트하는 방안을 제시한다. 제시된 방안을 통해 기존 방식에서 검출해 내지 못하던 오류를 검출함으로써 테스트 자동화 도구의 수행 성능을 향상시키고, 테스트 결과에 대한 신뢰성을 높이는 방법을 제안한다.

디지털방송이 시작되면서 고품질의 A/V(비디오/오디오)프로그램과 다양한 멀티미디어 컨텐츠를 제공하는 데이터방송을 처리하기 위한 수신 장치의 비중이 커지고 있다 이와 관련하여 데이터방송 환경에서 새로운 기술과 서비스가 등장할 때마다 이를 수용할 수 있는 소프트웨어를 탑재한 새로운 수신 장치가 필요하다. 일반적으로 한번 가정 내에 보급된 디지털 수신 장치의 소프트웨어 업그레이드가 용이하지 않기 때문에, 방송을 통해 이를 실현한다. 본 논문은 TV 셋탑박스 (STB) 내에 상주하는 middleware native application software 를 방송으로 다운받아 수정하는 기능을 지닌 STB 의 구현에 대해서 기술한다. 소프트웨어 업데이트 시스템은 소프트웨어를 포함하는 데이터 카루셀 스트림을 다운받아 파싱하는 다운로더, 추출된 소프트웨어를 설치하는 업데이트 로더, 그리고 예치상황이 발생하면 셋탑박스가 새로 부팅될 때, 로그 파일을 이용하여 소프트웨어를 옛날 상태의 회복시켜주는 리커버러 (recoverer)로 구성되어 있다. 다운로더는 지상파 디지털 방송 규격인 ATSC 규약에 맞게 구현하고, ATSC용 STB환경에서 테스트하고 있다.

Embedded software generates its outputs using current states of the system as well as external inputs. When a module in embedded software is tested, we need an automated testing tool, which generates possible sequences to reach the module as well as input data of the module, to reduce the testing time and to improve the quality of software. In this paper, we use decision table to specify the functionality of the module and data-annotated MSC (Message Sequence Charts) to describe scenarios, and implement a tool, which we call MSCTest, to automate the testing process. MSCTest consists of MSC graphic editor, test sequence and data generator, and test driver generator. MSCTest is effectively applied to test EsWin which is a kind of window library used in embedded systems.

In [1] we proposed a method to generate a test model (GFSM) from a set of scenarios of embedded software. Each scenario describes the interaction sequences for an external input event. Although these external events are generated and accepted alternatively and concurrently by embedded software, we considered only the alternative relations. In this paper, we describe an improved algorithm to generate GFSM from concurrent scenarios, and propose methods to reduce the number of transitions in the GFSM. The first is the synchronous interpretation of message passing instead of asynchronous one considering the real behavior of tasks in embedded software. The others apply the partial order techniques to the GFSM using independent regions. We apply the method to generate a reduced GFSM of embedded software running on a digital TV.

A GUI automated test can be divided into two areas. The first one is a regression test automation and the second one is an automated test. The former includes generating test cases manually and executing them automatically but the latter includes both generating test cases and executing them automatically. Costs of a software test are increasing more and more. Many companies are searching for a test automation method but most used things are limited to regression test automation. So, when testing at first, there should be test cases which are drawn up by a human. This paper explains to make test cases based on a source code and execute them automatically. In this paper, the study proceeds with a digital television set-top box application and explains to test without any effort of human. Of course, this study is far from a realization to industries. But this paper has a contribution at reducing more human efforts than the previous regression test automation and showing that later, fully automated test can be possible.

In this paper, a demultiplexer for MPEG-2 Transport Stream which can be applied to terrestrial digital broadcast is developed. The demultiplexer separates video, audio, and data from MPEG-2 multimedia stream and transports them to each decoders respectively. While most existing demultiplexers of MPEG-2 transport stream have been developed as hardware systems, but the fast increment of computer's performance enables a software demultiplexer to be worked in realtime. The developed demultiplexer is implemented as a software module called a filter using DirectShow of Microsoft which is based on COM(Component Object Model)and works on the Windows system. The operation of the demultiplexer is verified by using the GraphEdit tool and rendering a test file formatted as MPEG-2 transport stream.

Recently a drama that features a lawyer with autism spectrum disorder has attracted a lot of attention, raising interest in the difficulties faced by people with autism spectrum disorders. If the Autism spectrum gets detected early and proper education and treatment, the prognosis can be improved, so the development of the treatment is urgently needed. Drugs currently used to treat autism spectrum often have side effects, so Digital Therapeutics that have no side effects and can be supplied in large quantities are drawing attention. In this paper, we introduce 'AEmotion', an application and a Digital Therapeutic that provides emotion and facial expression learning for toddlers with an autism spectrum disorder. This system is developed as an application for smartphones to increase interest in training autistic children and to test easily. Using machine learning, this system consists of three main stages: an 'emotion learning' step to learn emotions with facial expression cards, an 'emotion identification' step to check if the user understood emotions and facial expressions properly, and an 'expression training' step to make appropriate facial expressions. Through this system, it is expected that it will help autistic toddlers who have difficulties with social interactions by having problems recognizing facial expressions and emotions.
