Abstract

The article describes a test system designed for verification of the real-time operating system (RTOS) for embedded systems, which was developed and used at the Scientific Research Institute for System Analysis of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SRISA RAS). This Unix-like operating system is based on the POSIX and ARINC-653 programming standards. Of course, there exists specialized software for automation of testing of Unix-like systems: Avocado, LAVA, Linux Test Project, Linux Distribution Checker, Open POSIX Test Suite, UnixBench, etc. But the use of such ready-made software systems is not always convenient, because they either contain only highly specialized test suites, or support only certain hardware, or do not contain a flexible configuration system. Therefore, the researchers at the SRISA RAS developed their own original test system. The task was to create a convenient testing tool for both software testers and programmers. Many years of experience in using the test system has shown the effectiveness of its use to improve the quality of software products, reduction of time spent on testing and analysis of results, maximally automate software testing process, speed up the process of developing new software versions, and simplify the process of debugging, finding and fixing errors by software developers.
