Test Compiler
The Test CompilerŽ is the Ultimate Control Logic Validation Tool.
Increasingly stringent standards for software validation in Safety Systems emphasize
the need for a modern approach to testing and validation. In order to satisfy both test
quality and cost, an integrated approach to logic certification must be implemented throughout
the program development life cycle. Furthermore, initial testing efforts should give consideration
to a streamlined process of periodical re-certification.
The Test Compiler Suite uses an intuitive ExcelŽ front end and enables automated testing of
the entire control configuration, based on a Cause and Effect matrix or similar. The program
will connect to your offline SIS/ESD, or any combination of control platforms.
Based on each tests, the Test Compiler will
- write a prescribed set of inputs to the controller
- read the respective set of outputs
- compare it to the "expected state table", documenting any discrepancies in a HTML
log file and documenting each test in an practical, exploitable HTML format.
