Quality assuring the quality assurance tool: applying safety-critical concepts to test framework development.

ABSTRACT: The quality of embedded systems is demonstrated by the performed tests. The quality of such tests is often dependent on the quality of one or more testing tools, especially in automated testing. Test automation is also central to the success of agile development. It is thus critical to ensure the quality of testing tools. This work explores how industries with agile processes can learn from safety-critical system development with regards to the quality assurance of the test framework development. Safety-critical systems typically need adherence to safety standards that often suggests substantial upfront documentation, plans and a long-term perspective on several development aspects. In contrast, agile approaches focus on quick adaptation, evolving software and incremental deliveries. This
