Provides both specific and general information regarding state-of-the art materials testing using automation technology as a means of: improving the reliability of data; eliminating the need for constant operator supervision; running tests that would be impossible without a computer; and reducing an
Computer automation of materials testing is becoming increasingly common in research laboratories and industrial quality control facilities. Until recently, computer architectures of the single processor variety have dominated the industry and their cost has limited the automation of general laboratory instruments. With the emergence of low cost microprocessor technology, it is now practical to design systems with several interconnected processing elements performing independent tasks in parallel. this paper presents the design techniques and hardware aspects of a distributed processing computer system for the automation of materials testing instruments. The advantages accrued by the use of multiple processing elements are discussed. This approach relieves the central processor from a number of routine tasks, thereby allowing the computer to execute more powerful software. The design of an intelligent interprocessor communications module and its utilization in a distributed computer system is also described.
With the urgent demand for rapid turnaround on new software releases--without compromising quality--the testing element of software development must keep pace, requiring a major shift from slow, labor-intensive testing methods to a faster and more thorough automated testing approach. Automated Software Testing is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to the most effective tools, techniques, and methods for automated testing. Using numerous case studies of successful industry implementations, this book presents everything you need to know to successfully incorporate automated testing into the development process. In particular, this book focuses on the Automated Test Life Cycle Methodology (ATLM), a structured process for designing and executing testing that parallels the Rapid Application Development methodology commonly used today. Automated Software Testing is designed to lead you through each step of this structured program, from the initial decision to implement automated software testing through test planning, execution, and reporting. Included are test automation and test management guidance for: Acquiring management support Test tool evaluation and selection The automated testing introduction process Test effort and test team sizing Test team composition, recruiting, and management Test planning and preparation Test procedure development guidelines Automation reuse analysis and reuse library Best practices for test automation
