Abstract

Embedded system testing involves testing an integration of software and hardware. It is increasingly difficult to evaluate the functionality of each module within a short time because of the increasing number of tests required. In this paper, a novel stepwise methodology involving the use of an automated compilation test system (ACTS) is proposed, to improve the quality of testing and optimize the testing time using automation. Using the proposed method, the testing coverage can be maximized, while minimizing the manual work and testing time required. This ACTS was used to automate the test code compilation and execution for different hardware modules. The proposed method significantly saved the testing time by approximately 56.42%, compared to the existing method, while ensuring quality testing performance.

Bahasa Abstract

Sistem Uji Kompilasi Otomatis untuk Sistem Sisipan. Pengujian sistem sisipan melibatkan menguji suatu penyatuan perangkat lunak dan perangkat keras. Menjadi bertambah sulit untuk mengevaluasi fungsionalitas masing-masing modul dalam waktu singkat karena peningkatan jumlah pengujian yang diperlukan. Di dalam karya tulis ini, diusulkan suatu metodologi bertahap baru penggunaan suatu sistem uji kompilasi otomatis (ACTS), untuk meningkatkan kualitas pengujian dan mengoptimalkan waktu pengujian dengan menggunakan otomatisasi. Dengan menggunakan metode yang diusulkan, jangkauan pengujian dapat dimaksimalkan, sekaligus meminimalkan waktu manual dan waktu pengujian yang diperlukan. ACTS ini digunakan untuk mengotomatisasi kompilasi kode uji dan eksekusi untuk modul-modul perangkat keras yang berbeda. Metode yang diusulkan mengamankan waktu pengujian secara signifikan mendekati 56,42%, dibandingkan dengan metode yang ada, sekaligus memastikan kinerja pengujian kualitas.
