The technology in the area of automated vehicles is gaining speed and promises many advantages. However, with the recent introduction of conditionally automated driving, we have also seen accidents. Test protocols for both, conditionally…

The safety of automated driving systems must be justified by convincing arguments and supported by compelling evidence to persuade certification agencies, regulatory entities, and the general public to allow the systems on public roads.…

Today's software quality assurance techniques are often applied in isolation. Consequently, synergies resulting from systematically integrating different quality assurance activities are often not exploited. Such combinations promise…

Survival of IT industries depends much upon the development of high quality and customer satisfied software products. Quality however can be viewed from various perspectives such as deployment of the products within estimated resources,…

Currently, the most prevalent way to evaluate an autonomous vehicle is to directly test it on the public road. However, because of recent accidents caused by autonomous vehicles, it becomes controversial about whether on-road tests should…

The mass production of complex software has made it impossible to manually test it for security vulnerabilities. Automated security testing tools come in a variety of flavors, function at various stages of software development, and target…

Software reliability is an important quality attrib-ute, often evaluated as either a function of time or of system structures. The goal of this study is to have this metric cover both for component-based software, be-cause its reliability…

Systems tend to become more and more complex. This has a direct impact on system engineering processes. Two of the most important phases in these processes are requirements engineering and quality assurance. Two significant complexity…

Model checking is an established technique to formally verify automation systems which are required to be trusted. However, for sufficiently complex systems model checking becomes computationally infeasible. On the other hand, testing,…

In recent years, the role and the importance of software in the automotive domain have changed dramatically. Being able to systematically evaluate and manage software quality is becoming even more crucial. In practice, however, we still…

Testing is a core software development activity that has huge potential to make software development more sustainable. In this paper, we discuss how environmental, social, economic, and technical sustainability map onto the activities of…

The article presents the first results of a PhD study connected to testing of safety critical medical devices: a systematically executed case study at a Hungarian manufacturer of medical devices. The article shortly describes the process of…

Interoperability is the key to implementing a wide range of energy systems applications. It involves the seamless cooperation of different methods and components. With smart energy systems, interoperability faces challenges due to…

This article provides formal definitions characterizing well-formed composition of components in order to guarantee their safe deployment and execution. Our work focuses on the structural aspects of component composition; it puts together…

This paper presents the core principles of reliability in software engineering - outlining why reliability testing is critical and specifying the process of measuring reliability. The paper provides insight for both novice and experts in…

A novel approach to evaluation of hardware and software testability, represented in the form of register transfer graph, is proposed. Instances of making of software graph models for their subsequent testing and diagnosis are shown.

To improve the reliability and efficiency of Web Software, the Testing Team should be creative and innovative. The experience and intuition of Tester also matters a lot and most often the destructive nature of Tester brings reliable…

Manufacturers of safety-critical systems must make the case that their product is sufficiently safe for public deployment. Much of this case often relies upon critical event outcomes from real-world testing, requiring manufacturers to be…

This short paper describes early experiments to validate the capabilities of a component-based platform to observe and control a software architecture in the small. This is part of a whole process for resilient computing, i.e. targeting the…

Renewable energy sources and further electrificationof energy consumption are key enablers for decreasing green-house gas emissions, but also introduce increased complexitywithin the electric power system. The increased availability…
