Systematic Software Unit Test Case Generation

11 March 2013 – The German companies iSYSTEM and Berner & Mattner integrated their software test tools. With this cooperation, iSYSTEM and Berner & Mattner respond to the demand for consistent development tools and automated test tools required especially by the automotive industry. Many companies use a “line-up of tools” in the various development stages of a so-called “embedded system”. There are no smooth transitions and automatisms between the individual stages and the respective tools.

Consequently, the know-how achieved at the beginning of the process often goes missing, and numerous steps have to be repeated over and over again. There is a higher demand for software testing particularly at the early stages of the development process, calling for techniques and automatisms for the systematic generation of test cases and their execution in a real environment, in other words, on the target hardware.

Up to now, the two partners have covered different stages of the development and test process. iSYSTEM focuses on software development for the implementation/integration of software and hardware, especially software testing at the development engineer’s workplace; Berner & Mattner specializes in systems engineering, development and testing of high-performance electronic and mechanical systems and, in this context, especially consulting, conceptual design, software and system development, setup and operation of entire test and integration systems.

“The combination of CTE XL Professional and testIDEA facilitates the systematic and rule-based development of the test structures generated in the iSYSTEM test tool environment. New and modified test cases can thus be generated and transferred back automatically to testIDEA, iSYSTEM’s test execution tool. This saves a lot of time and enhances test coverage substantially,” says iSYSTEM’s CEO Erol Simsek.

“The integration of CTE XL Professional and testIDEA is the perfect basis for combining black box and white box tests. Many users have been asking for simple test execution techniques for the test cases they have identified, and we satisfy their wish by integrating these two powerful tools. Everyone who establishes test cases carefully and systematically wants to benefit from direct test case execution,” explains Dr. Joachim Wegener, Head of Departments at Berner & Mattner.

Both companies will continue their cooperation and further extend the integration of their tools over the next months.
