Recently automotive software has been more complex and needs to be reduced its development time. Software testing of its functionalities and performance should be conducted in an early development phase to reduce time to market and the development cost. Software functional testing can be performed through simulating the hardware, but it is not guaranteed that evaluation of real-time performance using simulation has enough accuracy. Real-time performance can be precisely evaluated with hardware-in-the-loop simulation, but it costs time and effort to set up hardware for testing. In this paper, we suggest a testing system that can evaluate functional requirements and real time properties with a general-purpose development board in the early development phase. In addition, we improve reusability of the testing system through modularized and layered architecture. With the proposed testing system we can contribute to building reliable testing system at low cost without difficulty.

Real-time embedded systems have become pervasive in general industry. They also began to be applied in such domains as avionics, automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and industrial Internet. However, the system failure of such domains could result in catastrophic consequences. Runtime software testing is required in such domains that demands very high accuracy. Traditional runtime software testing based on handwork is very inefficient and time consuming. Hence, test automation methodologies in runtime is demanding. In this paper, we introduce a software testing system that translates a real-time software into a monitorable real-time software. The monitorable real-time software means the software provides the monitoring information in runtime. The monitoring target are time constraints of the input real-time software. We anticipate that our system lessens the burden of runtime software testing.

Real-time hybrid testing is an attractive method to evaluate the response of structures under earthquake loads. The method is a variation of the pseudodynamic testing technique in which the experiment is executed in real time, thus allowing investigation of structural systems with time-dependent components. Real-time hybrid testing is challenging because it requires performance of all calculations, application of displacements, and acquisition of measured forces, within a very small increment of time. Furthermore, unless appropriate compensation for time delays and actuator time lag is implemented, stability problems are likely to occur during the experiment. This paper presents an approach for real-time hybrid testing in which time delay/lag compensation is implemented using model-based response prediction. The efficacy of the proposed strategy is verified by conducting substructure real-time hybrid testing of a steel frame under earthquake loads. For the initial set of experiments, a specimen with linear-elastic behavior is used. Experimental results agree well with the analytical solution and show that the proposed approach and testing system are capable of achieving a time-scale expansion factor of one (i.e., real time). Additionally, the proposed method allows accurate testing of structures with larger frequencies than when using conventional time delay compensation methods, thus extending the capabilities of the real-time hybrid testing technique. The method is then used to test a structure with a rate-dependent energy dissipation device, a magnetorheological damper. Results show good agreement with the predicted responses, demonstrating the effectiveness of the method to test rate-dependent components.

A real-time system is a system wherein the behavior of the system depends not only on the input but also on the timing of the input. Timed automata is a widely used model for real-time system modeling and analysis. Model-based testing is employed to check whether the system under test (SUT) works according to the model specifications by using test cases generated from models that represent software requirements. In this paper, a case study was performed applying the timed automata based testing tools, UPPAAL-TRON, UPPAAL-COVER and SYMBOLRT, to the same system. Comparison of the testing approaches and tools is then made based on the results of the case study.

In this paper present the real-time system parallel testing techniques for weapon systems error verification. Previously field testing equipment in the military field was using the sequential testing method to maintain. This method could not check the error verification of interference. For this reason, in this paper propose the real-time system parallel testing techniques using an embedded module instead of the sequential testing techniques which is used in the weapon system error verification. Using the embedded module mounted switching control card conduct the parallel testing and then send the result to the PC. This method is possible to increase the reliability in the weapon system error verification.

This paper describes the real time Hardware-In-the Loop Simulation(HILS) that is an efective tool for design, testing and performance evaluation of the guidanc eflight system. The real time HILS was performed by using a 3-axis flight motion simulator, real time computer, I/O system and flight control system hardware along with the assumed flight trajectory of the guidance flight system. Also, we proved the validity of the real time HILS is the guidance flight system by comparing its simulation results with the software simulation data and telemetry data.

QoS monitoring is a kind of real-time systems which allows each level of the system to track the ongoing QoS levels achieved by the lower network layers. For these systems, real-time communications between corresponding transport protocol objects is essential for their correct behavior. When two or more entities are employed to perform a certain task as in the case of communication protocols, the capability to do so is called interoperability and considered as the essential aspect of correctness of communication systems. This paper describes a formal approach on modeling and interoperability test case generation of a real-time QoS monitoring protocol. For this, we specify the behavior of flow monitoring of transport layer QoS protocol, i.e., METS protocol, which is proposed to address QoS from an end-to-end's point of view, based on QoS architecture model which includes ATM net work in lower layers. We use a real-time Input/Output finite State Machine to model the behavior of real-time flow monitoring over time. From the modeled real-time I/OFSM, we generate interoperability test cases to check the correctness of METS protocol's flow monitoring behaviors for two end systems. A new approach to efficient interoperability testing is described and the method of interoperability test cases generation is shown with the example of METS protocol's flow monitoring. The current TTCN is not appropriate for testing real-time and multimedia systems. Because test events in TTCN are for message-based system and not for stream-based systems, the real-time in TTCN can only be approximated. This paper also proposes the notation of real-time Abstract Test Suite by means of real-time extension of TTCN. This approach gives the advantages that only a few syntactical changes are necessary, and TTCN and real-time TTCN are compatible. This formal approach on interoperability testing can be applied to the real-time protocols related to IMT-2000, B-ISDN and real-time systems.

The real time scheduling is a key research area in high performance computing and has been a source of challenging problems. A periodic task is an infinite sequence of task instance where each job of a task comes in a regular period. The RMS (Rate Monotonic Scheduling) algorithm has the advantage of a strong theoretical foundation and holds out the promise of reducing the need for exhaustive testing of the scheduling. Many real-time systems built in the past based their scheduling on the Cyclic Executive Model because it produces predictable schedules which facilitate exhaustive testing. In this work we propose hybrid scheduling method which combines features of both of these scheduling algorithms. The original rate monotonic scheduling algorithm didn't consider the uniform sampling tasks in the real time systems. We have enumerated some issues when the RMS is applied to our hybrid scheduling method. We found the scheduling bound for the hard real-time systems which include the uniform sampling tasks. The suggested hybrid scheduling algorithm turns out to have some advantages from the point of view of the real time system designer, and is particularly useful in the context of large critical systems. Our algorithm can be useful for real time system designer who must guarantee the hard real time tasks.
