Overview

The goal of the project is to develop methods and tools for testing and debugging of distributed real-time systems (DRTS). The ambitions are also to develop testability metrics and design rules for high testability of DRTS. Theoretical and practical results with regard to testing and testability of distributed real-time systems are next to non existent. Research is therefore of significance to both academia and industry.

Results achieved

Methods for testing, monitoring and debugging of distributed real-time systems, including analysis of the testability of programs, reported in publications above. In May 2000 Henrik Thane achieved his PhD, by defending the dissertation: Monitoring, Testing and Debugging of Distributed Real-Time Systems, Mälardalen University/Royal Institute of Technology.
 

Future work

To experimentally validate the developed method, to develop tools for debugging, and to compile the results into a PhD thesis. One licentiate thesis is in preparation, to be defended in May 2003.
