Software Integration Test for Railway Control Systems

This dissertation is the result of a five months internship experience at Akka Technologies S.r.l which is the final client of A. T. Company. A. T. is a well-known railway and railway infrastructure construction sector (Transport Division) with SCMT project performed in collaboration with the Akka Technologies S.r.l. Company decided to introduce the Verification and Validation within its development process and contacted experts from the university to implement industrially feasible strategies to address this goal. The work presented here reports on the results achieved in the context of this collaboration. This project defines Software Integration Test for Railway Control systems for the Italian Rail Traffic Management System (On Board System), and Software integration test which is derived from V & V model. Its testing phase (Software Testing) which is top-down integration test. Integration test is testing where individual components are combined with other components to make sure the correct communication. ADA language is programmed for input Documents. This system and the software is according to the software safety integrity level 4 (SIL 4) railway norms EN 50128. Baseline 11 is upgraded from Baseline 10 by implementing user requirements for the new performance. IBM Rational Test Real Time is the tool which is used to perform the Integration Testing. The main tasks are as follows: To write the Software Integration Test Specification, to perform the software integration test using an IBM Rational Test Real Time tool, to write the Software Integration Test Report.
