Application of virtual prototype technology to simulation test for airborne software system

Abstract

This paper develops a detailed analysis of embedded software testing method and virtual prototype technology. Then it makes advantage of virtual prototype platform, including universality, extensibility, easy upgrade, high intelligence and short development cycle, and applies them to airborne software testing. In this way, it makes up for the shortcomings, such as long development cycle, poor controllability and high cost of the embedded software platform and dedicated external equipment. In this paper, an airborne software testing technology based on the virtual prototype is proposed, combining with the practical work of software testing. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
