ABSTRACT
This paper introduces a standardized testing approach specifically designed for low-cost mechanical ventilators. The primary objective is to ensure that these ventilators are safe, reliable, and perform optimally. Given the surge in demand for affordable ventilators during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative to address the inadequate testing and validation procedures associated with these devices. The proposed approach encompasses different types of testing, including functional, performance, and safety testing. By incorporating models into the testing process, this approach provides enhanced test coverage, early detection of defects and systematic generation of test cases.

Towards quality of model-based testing in the ioco framework
JAMAICA 2013: Proceedings of the 2013 International Workshop on Joining AcadeMiA and Industry Contributions to testing AutomationSince testing is an expensive process, automatic testing with smart test selection has been proposed as a way to reduce such expense. Such a selection of tests can be done using specification coverage functions. Model-based ioco theory, however, uses ...
