Abstract:
Software (SW) quality management is a quality protection activity applied throughout SW development. SW quality management enables to implement software that is defect-free and meets development requirements. Quality management is performed through quality requirements, quality assurance methodology and quality testing. This paper shows SW quality test methods and results applied at the development stage of satellite control system. SW quality test was carried out by static test and dynamic test according to Verification-Validation (V-V) model proposed in SW engineering. The static test verifies that the source code is well implemented according to the requirements and design at the verification stage, and the dynamic test confirms in the validation phase whether the implemented product is running well. In order to efficiently perform the static test and the dynamic test, an SW test automation system is implemented. In this paper, we introduce a SW test automation system implemented for SW static test and dynamic test execution. Also, we show the results of the quality test that resulted in satisfying the requirements through potential errors or defects in the source code derived from static tests and requirements-based coverage results derived from dynamic tests.
