DESIGNING AND AUTOMATED TESTING OF AGRICULTURAL MACHINE SYSTEM USING NI LABVIEW TESTER

Abstract

Automated Testing gives an improved testability in terms of time than manual testing. An automated testing is a cost effective technology that can avoid manual errors while testing. Most of the time or the effort is needed at the time of initial development of scripts which are the inputs for the automated testing. This technology is used for “Agricultural Machine Systemâ€.

A proprietary scripting language is used for automated testing. Scripts are developed using commands that are well defined. Control signals which includes inputs, outputs and CAN are specified in map files which are in excel format. The result of the automated testing for a particular test case run is generated in a report in excel format.

With the automated testing one can reduce manual errors in testing, improved testability in time and cost of test repeatability.
