Abstract [en]
Automated tests have become the most sought after method of testing
in today’s market. Automating systems is generally found to be
cheaper, faster and more reliable than manually operating them. For
this reason many companies decide to make the switch over to this inexpensive
yet efficient way of testing, only to realize that their costs
have in fact gone up. The reasons for this could be poor planning, automating
too much too soon or even automating unnecessary parts of
the system. This study takes a closer look at the effects of automating
tests used on interlocking systems. A tool has been developed as a part
of the automated tests at Bombardier. The main function of the tool is
to speed up the testing process by automatically generating test cases
rather than having a worker write them down. The aim of this paper is
to present this recently developed tool and show how its use significantly
reduces testing time, costs and workload compared to the manual tests
used today.
