Suggestion of Testing Method for Industrial Level Cyber-Physical System in Complex Environment

Abstract

In this paper, we suggest the testing method for industrial level cyber-physical system and its automation under the various environmental, restrictive condition. There are other testing methods, such as Software in the Loop Test, Hardware in the Loop Test, Field Test. But these methods have limitations of high cost, not enough testing and hard to test because the complexity of the situation is going up. The systems that work near human, like drones, autonomous cars, or used in extreme environments should be tested under same extreme environments and proof that it is safe. And the area in which those systems are used is increasing. For example, the drone is used in the various area not only for leisure but also for broadcasting, surveillance on fire, and parcel delivery. It means the test with a combination of various environment and condition is required to the system. We report the case that we have tested and automated the test with the simulation. With the simulation, we tested the system under the extreme environment, a variety of combination of legal restrictions and situational condition.
