The testing activity for a complex and sophisticated system having embedded software with an objective of zero default is a major industrial concern. Testing of systems with inter-operating components presents a basic problem: Indeed, it is not sufficient to test each component solely. It is in fact mandatory to test the dynamic behaviour of the whole system, depending upon the components interoperation. This project will deploy a multi-site tele-testing environment (TOPEN) for systems made up of inter-operating components. Mechatronic systems (provided by Ligeron S.A.) and software for on-line monitoring and control (provided by LABEIN) will be used as test scenarios.
