Signals in the Noise: Test Automation for Safety-Critical Systems
Imagine a yellow truck you usually see in supermarkets or warehouses. Simple from the outside, but very complex inside where software and hardware form a unique safety-critical system. The challenge when designing a test strategy for such systems is one you’ve faced too, regardless of what you are building: which testing activities reduce risk and have the most impact on business and safety?
In this talk, we’ll discover how to design test automation strategies that give us ‘eyes’ to see invisible signals and ‘hands’ to reach unreachable states. We’ll take a look at good practices that translate all the way from software to embedded and learn why automation has a crucial impact when applied to the right levels (such as SIL or HIL).
Whether you work on embedded systems or complex software products, you will learn the universal principles of designing an impactful strategy. And who knows, maybe the yellow truck from the beginning of this story will look completely different to you by the end.
