As the requirement of user for robot functionality, the function and interface for controlling the robot system is more sophisticated and complicated. Accordingly development process of robot is more complicated and it takes much longer time to develop a robot system. Software development using project management tool is more important in software engineering because of the complexity of software, especially robot system. This paper proposes SEED (Software Engineering Equipment for Development), which is a web-based and integrated software engineering tool to provide independent tools for robot software development. SEED includes the document management tool, the software configuration management tool, the software testing tool on developing robot software and provide a functionality of collaborated and remote development due to WEB-based operations.

In order to test reflecting the features of a development methodology and domain, it is required to tailor process standards and perform testing according to the tailored process. However, since commercial testing tools support only a part of the tailored process, it is essential to either acquire or develop testing tools appropriate for a development environment. This paper proposes a method to develop a test process execution tool which has common features of standards, and variousness in methodologies and domains. ‘Test Process Execution Tool: Test PET’ which is a test process execution tool developed adapting the concept of product line. Our Test PET generates the test process suitable for the development methodology and domain and then executes the produced test process.

Recent advances in computer technology have brought more dependence on software to train control systems. Hence, the safety assurance of the vital software running on the railway system is very critical task and yet, not many works have been done. While much efforts have been reported to improve electronic hardware's safety, not so much systematic approaches to evaluate software's safety, especially for the vital software running on board train controllers. In this paper, we have developed the static software testing tool for railway signaling, especially Fagan Inspection module and checklists supporting module. This static testing tool for railway signaling can be utilized at the assessment phase, and also usefully at the software development stage also. It is anticipated that it will be greatly helpful for the evaluation on the software for railway signalling system.

Many railway signalling functions have increasingly depended on computer software with recent development in computing technology, leading to evolution into more flexible and intelligent railway signalling system. Meanwhile, software programs are likely to have many errors and the cost incurred by such errors has increased. Especially, if fatal software error occurs during railway operation, it may result in loss of lives. So the software verification and validation have become more important. It is needed for software functional safety tool to support these, but most commercial tools depend on direct access to the system's memory, resulting in many difficulties in application. Owing to such difficulties and complexity, they are rarely used in railway signalling system software validation. In this study, a new testing tool for software functional testing through an external interface that can be easily used in functional testing of software was developed. Such testing tool allows development and analysis of test cases for black-box testing through analysis of actually used interface protocols, leading to increased user convenience.

The systematic testing is frequently regretted in recent web applications because of time and cost pressure. Moreover developers have difficulties with applying the traditional testing techniques to testing web application. The approach of creating test cases for a web application from a sequence model is proposed for the rapid and efficient testing. Test cases for web application are extracted from call messages (including self-call messages) of UML (Unified Modeling Language) sequence diagram. A test case consists of messages, script functions, or server pages and additional values. Moreover a simple testing tool for web application is proposed. A URL for testing web application is created and executed by this testing tool. The URL consists of server page address and additional values. This test tool is made using Microsoft Visual Basic. The efficiency of proposed method and tool has been shown using a practical case study which reflects the development project of the web application for supporting member management.

ATTOL is a software unit testing tool produced by the ATTOL Testware SA in France. It automates the entire software unit testing process: test plan template and test program generation, test program execution, test result analysis and test report generation. ATTOL is suited for the development of embedded software as it allows programmers to operate in native and cross development environments. Particularly, it is used for the development of the flight software which is embedded in the Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite (COMS). As the flight software is mission-critical, it requires the strict software quality and high testing constraints. The flight software of COMS is verified by ATTOL in native and cross platforms. In 2002, ATTOL was taken over by the IDM Rational Software and has been supplied with the name of Test RealTime (TestRT). The test process of TestRT becomes different from that of ATTOL as TestRT provides the new functionalities that were absent from ATTOL. TestRT provides the new features in the test script language, as well. In this paper, we compare the test process of ATTOL to TestRT With an example of COMS and explain what has been changed in the test script language.
