Traditional software testing typically uses many physical resources to manually build various test environments, resulting in high resource costs and long test time due to limited resources, especially for small enterprises. Cloud computing can provide sufficient low-cost virtual resources to alleviate these problems through the virtualization of physical resources. However, the provision of various test environments and services for implementing software testing rapidly and conveniently based on cloud computing is challenging. This paper proposes a multilayer cloud testing model based on cloud computing and implements a hybrid cloud testing system based on virtual machines (VMs) and networks. This system realizes the automatic and rapid creation of test environments and the remote use of test tools and test services. We conduct experiments on this system and evaluate its applicability in terms of the VM provision time, VM performance and virtual network performance. The experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the VMs and virtual networks is satisfactory and that this system can improve the test efficiency and reduce test costs through rapid virtual resource provision and convenient test services.

Recently, software reliability and safety issues are seriously considered since failures of embedded systems may cause the damages of human lifes. For verifying and testing embedded software, execution environment including sensors and actuators should be prepared in the actual plants or virtual forms on PC. In this paper, we provide the virtual prototype based code simulation techniques and testing framework on PC. Virtual prototypes are generated by combining the Adobe's Flash SWF images corresponding to the state machine of HW or environment components. Code simulation on PC is possible by replacing the device drivers into virtual drivers which connect to virtual prototypes. Also, testing is performed by controlling the states of virtual prototype and simulators. By using these tools, embedded software can be executed in the earlier development phase and the efficiency and SW quality can be enhanced.

In this letter, we propose blackbox and scenario-based testing of multiplayer online games as well as simple load testing. Game testing is done from outside the source code, and the access to the source code is not required to testers because the game logic is described with a game description language and virtual game map. Instead of using a subset of the main game client for the test client, only game packet protocols and the sequence of packets are analyzed for new game testing. In addition, complex and various scenarios can be tested through combining defined actions. Scenario-based testing helps testers mimic real testing environments instead of doing simple load testing and improves the productivity of game testing.

본 논문에서는 스마트 센서 응용 소프트웨어를 테스팅하기 위한 효율적인 방법인 가상 센서 시스템을 제안한다. 센서 응용 소프트웨어를 테스트하는 보편적인 방법은 테스트 보드에 센서를 직접 연결시켜 테스팅 환경의 센서 측정값으로 응용소프트웨어를 테스팅 하는 것이다. 센서 측정값을 입력으로 센서 응용 소프트웨어를 테스팅함으로 발생하는 문제는 테스트 데이터가 제한적이라는 것이다. 즉, 테스트 데이터가 센서로부터 생성되기 때문에 소프트웨어 테스터가 테스트 데이터를 조절하지 못하는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 가상센서 시스템을 제안한다. 가상 센서 시스템은 소프트웨어 테스터가 센서의 측정값을 조절할 수 있게 한다. 가상 센서 시스템에서 센서 선택, 센서 특성화, 출력 패턴 정의의 세 단계를 통해 가상 센서를 정의한다. 가상 센서 시스템을 통해 조절 가능한 센서 측정값을 사용함으로써 센서 응용 소프트웨어에 대한 효율적인 테스트가 가능하다. 본 연구의 유용성을 보이기 위해 가상 센서 시스템을 안드로이드 앱의 센서 프로그램에 적용해 보고 실험 결과를 보인다.

Durability performance evaluation technology using Virtual Testing Method is a new concept of a vehicle design, which can reduce the automotive components design period and cost. In this paper, the fatigue life of an aluminum knuckle of a passenger car is evaluated using virtual testing method. The flexible multibody dynamic model of a front half car module is generated and solved with service loads which are measured from Belgian roads. Using a multibody dynamic analysis software, the flexible multibody dynamic simulation of a half car model is carried out and the dynamic stress profile of an aluminum knuckle is acquired. The stress profile is exported to a fatigue analysis software and durability performance of an aluminum knuckle is evaluated.

디지털트윈은 현실에서의 상황을 가상의 세계에 만들어 놓고 시뮬레이션 하여 결과를 예측하는 기술이다. 디지털트윈은 제조업에서 뿐 아니라 다양한 산업에서나 사회적 문제를 해결할 수 있는 기술로 주목받고 있다. 따라서 디지털트윈을 이용하여 현실상의 도시 개발과 가상의 도시개발을 쌍둥이로 진행하여 다양한 테스트를 하는 역할을 수행해 볼 수 있다. 이러한 디지털 트윈 시스템이 제대로 동작하고 있는 지를 검증하기 위해서는 이를 위한 테스팅 기술이 필요하며 특히 가상의 소프트웨어로 동작하는 것이 주를 이르는 특성을 반영한 소프트웨어 테스팅 기술이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 디지털 트윈 시스템에서의 소프트웨어 테스팅 기술 동향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

This work illustrates the progress of a TAS activity at exploring the challenges and the benefits of the Virtual Shaker Testing (VST) approach. The definition and the validation of new computational methodologies with respect to the state of the art were encouraged throughout this activity. The shaker Finite Element (FE) model in lateral configuration was built for the purpose and it was merged with the SpaceCraft (S/C) FE model, together with the S/C-Shaker adapter. FE matrices were reduced through the Craig-Bampton method. The VST transient analysis was performed in MATLAB(R) numerical computing environment. The closed-loop vibration control is accounted for and the solution is obtained through the fourth-order Runge Kutta method. The use of pre-existing built-in functions was limited by authors with the aim of tracing the impact of all the problems' parameters in the solution. Assumptions and limitations of the proposed methodology are detailed throughout this paper. Some preliminary results pertaining to the current progress of the activity are thus illustrated before the conclusions.

In general, accelerated life testing is performed to reduce testing time. But it is difficult to apply accelerated life testing to a system besides components. This paper developed a software which estimates reliability measures of the system from results of accelerated life testing of components building the system. This software can handle the system with a large number of components and complex topology. Multiple failure modes of a component were also considered in this software. Based on the software, reliability measures of a gearbox example at several conditions were estimated from the accelerated life testing results of three components of the gearbox.

It is common to measure multiple coverage metrics during software testing. Software reliability growth models and coverage growth functions have been applied to each coverage metric to evaluate software reliability; however, analysis results for the individual coverage metrics may conflict with each other. This paper proposes the virtual coverage metric of a normalized first principal component in order to avoid conflicting cases. The use of the virtual coverage metric causes a negligible loss of information.

The virtual engineering technologies have been broadly used for the design, testing, manufacturing and maintenance works of industrial product. Recently many VR systems with walk through navigation and web databases; such as design and installation database. load history database, maintenance history database et al. are developed. However, the virtual engineering in railroad industry is not well developed compared to other industries like automobile, air, shipbuilding. In this paper, we explain the strategy that we have applied the virtual engineering technology to the design works of rolling stock and our plan to build the virtual testing laboratory(VTL) in the Korea Railroad Research Institute.
