ABSTRACT
In developing real-time mission control software for terminals in a large satellite communications system, my team realized that a script-based stimulus/response tool was inadequate for developmental testing and training. As an initial proof-of-concept, we first designed a monolithic, single-user system simulator for engineering development. During the project, the requirements expanded to include the addition of a multi-user, cross-platform capability, and later distribution in a two-tier client/server system.
