Abstract

This paper presents a methodology to automate and accelerate the PLATO Payload (P/L) Boot Software (BSW) testing procedures by presenting a set of pre-programmed TCL scripts with different verification targets, satisfying the BSW requirements. These scripts are conceived in order to run an autonomous regression testing while verifying the BSW core functionalities, and in case of an additional BSW verification is needed, a set of scripts will be available for obtaining an automatic quick health-statement. The present method was proven by carrying out the pre-programmed functional and performance tests on the different PLATO’s BSW versions installed on the ICU development models. The tests performed on these models have proven their effectiveness during the BSW testing process, since the testing time has been greatly reduced and the test results can be archived to maintain a useful record that contemporaneously with the dedicated TCL scripts may assist in future verification of the flight BSW version.
