Abstract

The importance of software in military weapon systems is increasing, and the software structure is becoming more complicated. We therefore must thoroughly verify its reliability. In particular, the defects from the interaction of the software components that make up the weapon system are difficult to prevent only with static testing and code coverage level dynamic testing. In this paper, we classify dynamic software defect types and analyze the issues reported in the Open Source Software (OSS) used in the US department of defense weapon systems. The dynamic defects classified in this paper usually occur after integration, and it is difficult to reproduce and identify the cause. Based on this analysis, we come to the point that the software integration test must be enhanced in order to verify the reliability of the weapon system.

국방 무기체계에서의 소프트웨어 비중이 증가하고 있으며 구조도 점차 복잡해지고 있어, 이에 따른 신뢰성 검증이 매우 중요하다. 특히 무기체계 시스템을 구성하는 소프트웨어 구성 요소 들의 상호 작용에 따라 발생하는 결함은 정적 시험 및 코드 실행률 점검 수준의 동적 시험만으로는 예방하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 소프트웨어의 동적 결함 유형을 분류 개발한다. 미 국방부 무기체계에 사용하는 오픈 소스 소프트웨어(OSS)에서 보고된 이슈 분석을 통하여 본 논문에서 분류한 동적 결함이 실제로 발생하며, 이들은 대체로 통합 이후 발생하는 결함이며, 재현이 어렵고, 결함 원인 파악이 어려웠음을 보인다. 이 분석 결과를 기반으로 무기체계 신뢰성 검증을 위하여 소프트웨어 통합 시험 개선의 중요성을 도출한다.
