Mjukvarutestning av radar i en simulerad miljö

Abstract

The test system for integration and verification of software for radar systems at Saab is a narrow resource. As a result, the testing becomes a time-consuming process, because the testing is done on real hardware. The digitalization of products are increasing and the concurrence is growing. The aim of this thesis is to examine how testing of software can be done with a simulated environment. To make testing of software independent from system specific hardware and easy accessible. In addition, to look in to how and if it is possible to combine existing simulators that is used at Saab today, to build a test environment for software. The system in focus is the radar system on GlobalEye, which is an airborne early warning and control aircraft with advanced sensor systems. To understand how testing of complex systems is done, a pre-study has been made. After the study was done, interviews with professionals working close to the current test environment were conducted. The result is an implementation of a test environment that tests signal- and data processing integrated with the radar operators’ user interface. The implementation was done on commercial hardware without any system specific components in collaboration with professionals at Saab.
