Test Compiler®          


The Test Compiler® 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 Excel® 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 (field inputs, or causes) to the controller

   -  read the respective set of outputs (controller actions, or effects) 

   -  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.
