Testing external code including Simulink code with IBM Systems Design Rhapsody and TestConductor Add On

Presenter: Dr. Hartmut Wittke – Software Engineer for the BTC Embedded Systems AG

In this presentation we show how the behavior of a system under development can be tested even if legacy code is part of the model behavior. The legacy code can be manually developed or coming froma Simulink workflow including auto-code generation with EmbeddedCoder. External code can be “unit tested” in Rhapsody with TestConductor, very similar to the testing of UML or SysML units.But also end-to-end tests can be executed where external codeplays a role as part of a bigger system or software model.

Our Presenter Dr. Hartmut Wittke studied Computer Science at the University of Oldenburg, Germany. He finished 1997 his Diploma. From 1997 to 2005, he worked for OFFIS in Oldenburg and finished with his PhD Thesis on compositional specification verification of complex embedded systems. Since 2005 he develops UML based testing tools as software engineer for the BTC Embedded Systems AG

Streamlining Aviation compliance with IBM ELM

Presenter: Eran Gery – WW A&D Industry lead for IBM ELM

Airworthiness certification is becoming more demanded by customers today, way beyond just civil airliners. Today there is growing demand for Airwothiness certification for civil and military UAVs, eVTOL and also military aircraft. It is also well known in the industry that airworthiness certification might incur very significant additional engineering cost – up to doubling the cost of the project.

In this webinar we will briefly discuss the airworthiness compliance stack starting with the SAE ARP 4754a, with a special focus on the most common one DO-178C. We will describe and demonstrate how an effective engineering practice and toolchain can dramatically reduce the cost overhead of the compliance work. We will show how the various certification objectives are streamlined with the IBM ELM solution resulting in significant cost reduction, as well as improved quality and time to delivery.

Test-Driven Development with IBM Systems Design Rhapsody and TestConductor Add On

Date: September 10, 2020
Presenter: Dr. Hartmut Wittke – Software Engineer for the BTC Embedded Systems AG

In this presentation we show how the behavior of individual components can be developed with a test driven development approach in a model based development context. Given are architecture and sequence diagram specifications referring to the interfaces defined by the architecture. The sequence diagrams are reused as test cases for the component under development. By successively taking the specifications into account, behavior adhering to the specifications is developed and tested in an incremental work flow.

Higher quality and less cost with IBM Systems Design Rhapsody ‐ TestConductor Add On

Date: August 28, 2020
Presenter: Christian Wachtendorf – Project Leader at BTC Embedded Systems AG

How to achieve and maintain quality by model based testing? In this presentation we show how Rhapsody TestConductor helps verifying the system or software under development meets its requirements with a high degree of automation. Model based development and testing enable traceability between requirements, design and test, allowing impact analysis, coverage measurement, efficient reviews, and reuse of specification data for testing.

Requirements Based Testing for Rail Projects

Date: August 4, 2020
Presenter: Jim Herron – CTO of Island Training

In this session, you will not only see a demonstration of the IBM capabilities, but more importantly hear from a large rail industry power user speak about how they have benefited from this testing methodology with numerous major rail projects around the world.

Whether you are currently using DOORS/DOORS NG or other tools to management your requirements, you will learn the benefits of requirements based testing and how using a test management solution can significantly streamline your testing process
