Torvald Mårtensson, Adjunct Associate Professor, makes his docent lecture in Computer Science on the 10th of February. The lectur title is:
Testing and Test Environments for Large-Scale Cyber-Physical Systems
Abstract
Large-scale cyber-physical systems—such as self-driving vehicles, advanced telecom infrastructure, and modern video surveillance platforms—combine complex software with tightly integrated electronic and mechanical components. Their scale and deep coupling with hardware introduce additional challenges for testing and for designing effective test environments. This lecture provides an overview of these challenges and presents insights drawn from research studies with eleven multinational companies across the telecom, defense, logistics, surveillance, and automotive sectors. We will explore strategies for overcoming continuous integration impediments, constructing continuous integration and delivery pipelines, and involving engineers with different knowledge, skills, and personalities to improve test efficiency and effectiveness. The lecture concludes with a forward-looking discussion on emerging testing challenges posed by autonomous systems and system of systems.
