In this paper, we propose a way to reduce the SW reliability test time and human errors by utilizing the Lean Six Sigma methodology as a troubleshooting tool. Recently, SW technology is rapidly changing and the importance of SW management has been recognized. Accordingly, the SW reliable test for the SW development outcomes in one of the methods for SW quality improvement is required. However, it consumes a lot of development costs, has the time constraints and human errors in SW reliable test, so, it is difficult to meet the requirements for SW test.

It has been tested for SW reliability in order to prevent the SW error during the development of weapons systems. According to a recent report, defects such as memory leak, buffer overflow, and null deference occur usually in the development stage, but also in the mass production stage. Although it is intended to enhance the SW test and evaluation to prevent SW failures in the development stage, the non-functional problems like syntax errors are not completely revised due to the limitation of the schedule and costs. In addition, SW failure rate are usually fluctuated by the operational environment through SW upgrade in contrast with HW. In this paper, we propose a method to increase SW reliability in the mass production stage of Korean weapon systems.

As the weapon system SW development and management manual of the DAPA, which is the regulation for the overall weapon system SW development, is revised, the level and scope of SW reliability test are upgraded to improve the reliability and quality of SW. It is a big burden for SW developers. In particular, the dynamic test requires a schedule and manpower required to implement the weapon system SW, and should be performed every time the source code changes, not just one time. In this paper, we propose a regression test automation program(VectorCast Environment Manager) that performs a dynamic test using VectorCast, a dynamic test tool, and then performs a regression test automatically by minimizing human intervention in the regression test of dynamic test due to the change of the source code.

SW 기술이 급변하는 현 시점에서는 SW 관리의 중요성이 인식되어 SW 품질향상을 위한 제도 개선의 일안으로 SW 개발 산출물에 대한 SW 신뢰성 시험이 요구되고 있으나, SW 신뢰성 시험에 투입되는 비용, 시간적 제약 및 휴먼에러 등으로 인해 SW 시험요구조건을 충족하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 문제 해결 도구로써 린6시그마 방법론을 활용하여 SW 신뢰성시험시간을 단축하고 인적오류를 감소할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다.

Rapid increase of embedded systems in electronic and mechanical control systems requires reliable and error-free embedded software. State-based testing methods like FSM are usually used to assure the reliability of embedded software. However, because of possibility of explosion of test cases, only partial test cases are considered in practical tests, which cannot guarantee that all the possible errors are investigated. This study proposes a test procedure based on failure mechanisms that may occur in embedded systems, which can not only assure that certain kinds of possible errors are detected but reduce the testing time. The proposed procedure is applied to vehicle air control system.

In this paper, we propose the standard architecture for the IFF interface SW in naval combat management system(CMS). The proposed standard interface architecture is a method designed to reduce modification efforts and man-month of reliability test for the existing the IFF interface SW of 11 types. We identified highly dependent CMS and GFE information, leading to the redefinition of standard requirements and functions, and proceeded with the initial design applying the Naval Shield Component Platform(NSCP). Subsequently, using the Feature Model, we derived additional common and variable elements for the interface of multiple CMS and GFE. Considering the S.O.L.I.D principles, we designed the final architecture. The proposed IFF Interface SW, based on the standard architecture, is expected to enhance management efficiency through a common architecture, increase code reusability and scalability, and reduce development costs by shortening reliability testing times.

Under the influence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there is a emphasis on capacity building based on computational thinking to foster talent for future. In Korea, SW education has been mandatory since 2018. Since 2017, research has been conducted on the definition of SW education capability and the development of diagnostic tools. At this time, the diagnostic tool for middle school has been revised and supplemented once in 2018 and is used so far. In response to the request from the field to expand the information diagnostic test for middle school to elementary school and high school, it began as one of the 2019 study on the effectiveness of SW leading schools. In this study, we develop a diagnostic tool for elementary and high school based on the diagnostic tool for middle school. Expert validity verification and preliminary inspections are carried out. Preliminary examinations will analyze the reliability, discrimination, and difficulty of the questions, and look forward to seeing the potential as a testing tool in the future.

Nowadays, the high technology weapons system has been developed and the importance of ATE which measures the test specification is growing bigger and bigger. So the ATE software reliability becomes critical but the regulation of ATE development/management is less inadequate than that of DoD. In this paper, the improvement way of the ATE software reliability verification and ATE development/management processes were proposed.

Chemicals, such as ammunition, are disposable items that cannot be reused because of their operational characteristics. The reliability of the test process and test results are important factors in evaluating the performance of guns and ammunition. The pressure after firing is a crucial value in an acceptance test of guns and ammunition performance; hence, accurate measurements are required. The pressure in the artillery is measured using the copper crusher gauge. The compression amount of copper is converted into a pressure by either a length-pressure conversion table or conversion formula. Therefore, the exact measurement of the squeeze of the copper crusher is related directly to the correct estimate of the pressure. Currently, the pressure is measured manually by the operator, which always includes some human error. In this study, the cause of the measurement error was analyzed, and the automatic measuring system for copper crusher deformation was developed to minimize the error elements. A copper crusher could be measured using the probe sensor and CCD camera, and the Jig for stable positioning was also designed. A designated SW was also developed for the system operating and measurement-analysis. This measuring system through this study may be used for an ammunition stockpile reliability test and gun/ammunition acceptance test.

Brake judder, one of low Sequency vibrations in brake system is determined by the excitation of Brake Torque Variation (BTV). The largest contributor to BTV is disc thickness variation. In this study, the static loads of brake torque at Suspension Mounting Points (SW) are obtained by the quasi-static analysis using DADS. The dynamic loads with frequency of BTV at SW are derived from correlation between forced vibration analysis with static loads and brake test results. And the accelerations at steering wheel were analyzed by forced vibration analysis with dynamic loads using commercial finite element program MSC/NASTRAN so that vibration characteristics of vehicle due to brake judder were investigated. Reliability of analysis results was verified through comparing the brake test results. Also, a parametric study with natural frequencies of frame, such as the 1st torsional mode and 1st bending mode, was conducted to reduce vibration amplitudes. As a result we could detect frame natural frequency conditions to improve vibration characteristics and obtained the frame model to reduce vibration amplitude.
