The issue of method of software testing process implementation has recently been in the spotlight in korea and some vendor make every effort to improve the software testing process through the evaluation of TMMi. The level of software process is at initial level, nevertheless, so the high quality of software is not guaranteed. This paper apply to the TMMi Level2 Assessment criteria of Automobile control software testing process. The test policy and strategy, test planning, test monitoring and control, test design and execution, test environment goal. The result need to emerge development process connection on the test policy and strategy process, test planning process etc. Also, the study analyzed the infra structure to reach the repeated level via key process area. As the result the process implementation in organization suggests the policy development and the implementation activity. Finally, the practical can refer to this paper in order to implementation the software testing process.

The reliability test performed when developing the weapon system software is classified into static test and dynamic test. In static test, checking the coding rules, vulnerabilities and source code metric are performed without executing the software. In dynamic test, its functions are verified by executing the actual software based on requirements and the code coverage is measured. The purpose of this static/dynamic test is to find out defects that exist in the software. However, there still exist defects that can't be detected only by the current reliability test on the weapon system software. In this paper, whether defects that may occur in the software can be detected by static test and dynamic test of the current reliability test on the weapon system is analyzed through experiments. As a result, we provide guidance on improving the reliability test of weapon system software, especially the dynamic test.

Info-communication software contains various functions and services. A software test is the only acceptance test step. Recently, however, all development steps have become important. In particular, the software acceptance step is very high, and a study of the effective use of limited time and resources on acceptance step is needed. This study examined the efficiency of the Test Design Technique for Software Test. The proposed Test Design process was applied to the domain systems of info-communication and the degree of improvement was measured. This paper establishes Software Test design process Infrastructure based on the developed software.

Software testing is an activity to find defects included in software through creating test cases from the software system specification. In order to perform software testing effectively, it is required to prepare the full test plan, to create well-defined test cases, and to execute test monitoring activities systematically. Most existing researches for the test approaches focus on automating the activities from the test cases generation to the test execution. Contrary to those approaches, we study automatic approaches for test monitoring activities. For this, we identify the research issues that should be solved to automate test monitoring activities. Next, with those solutions, we suggest the construction method for an automatic framework for test monitoring.

Defense Acquisition Program Administration's weapon system software development and management guideline specifies the criteria of software reliability tests including static and dynamic tests mainly on C/C++ languages. Recently, Defense Acquisition Program Administration expanded the scope of software reliability test for the various languages including C#, java etc. but specific criteria for them are not established. This study suggests the reliability test procedures and standards on C# programming software in weapon system. For the static test, considering the nature of the C# which depends on .NET framework, this paper introduces applying coding rules recommended by Microsoft Corp. Visual Studio 2012. Block coverage provided by Visual Studio is applied on dynamic tests and the achievement objectives for block coverage according to the software levels(A, B, C) are suggested. Also, the software reliability test procedures and standards proposed by this paper are properly verified through the case study. The result of this study can be used for establishing the specific criteria of the software reliability test for C# programming software in weapon system.

Various artifacts that are produced as software R&D project progresses contain research plan, research report, software requirements and design descriptions, etc. When conducting a software R&D project, it is necessary to confirm that the developed system has implemented its research requirements well. However, various research results make it difficult to design appropriate tests. So, there is a practical need for us to comprehensively handle the planning, execution, and reporting of software test for finding and verifying information related to the research. In this paper, we propose a useful method for software test process in R&D project which supports model based software testing. The proposed method supports automation of test design and generation of test data by explicitly separating each step of System Under Test (SUT). The method utilizes the various models representing the control flow of the function to extract the information necessary for testing the system. And it supports a systematic testing process based on TMMi and ISO 29119. Finally, we show the validity of the method by implementing a prototype with basic functionality to generate test data from software behavioral models.

The maintenance of legacy software systems is very important in the field of a software engineering. In the maintenance, a regression test confirms the behavior preserving of the software which has been changed but most of regression tests are done in a system level and rarely done in a unit test level because there is no test case. This paper proposes how to modify legacy software systems and make unit test cases as an asset. It uses a technique with a specific module of a real software development project and analyzes test coverage results. After this, if a study about automatic restructuring techniques and a test case generation proceeds continuously, we can expect the big advance of legacy software systems maintenance.

Recently, a software program has been used in nuclear power plants (NPPs) to digitalize many instrumentation and control systems. To guarantee NPP safety, the reliability of the software used in safetycritical instrumentation and control systems must be quantified and verified with proper test cases and test environment. In this study, a software testing method using a simulation-based software test bed is proposed. The test bed is developed by emulating the microprocessor architecture of the programmable logic controller used in NPP safety-critical applications and capturing its behavior at each machine instruction. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated via a case study. To represent the possible states of software input and the internal variables that contribute to generating a dedicated safety signal, the software test cases are developed in consideration of the digital characteristics of the target system and the plant dynamics. The method provides a practical way to conduct exhaustive software testing, which can prove the software to be error free and minimize the uncertainty in software reliability quantification. Compared with existing testing methods, it can effectively reduce the software testing effort by emulating the programmable logic controller behavior at the machine level.

Black-box testing needs to prepare fitting test data, execute software, and examine the result. If we test software effectively, not only selecting test cases but also representing test cases are important. In static testing effectiveness of testing activities also depends on how to represent test cases and checklist to validate. This paper suggests a method for finding ineffective critical test cases and reengineering them. An experiment of reengineering digital set-top box software shows the process and results of checking effectiveness and conformance of current test cases and patching test cases. The result shows how much save the test time and improve test coverage by reengineering test cases. Methods of reuse and restructuring test cases are also studied to fit into embedded product-line software.
