Test station software for traffic safety systems

Software testing is an important step in the software development process that evaluates the quality of the software.There exist several techniques and methodologies for testing software, but the common purposes of testing software are to reduce risks and find defects in the software.The project described in this master's thesis report has been executed at the development department of Sensys Traffic AB.The goal of this project was to develop a test tool framework for testing software modules in the company's traffic safety systems.A methodology that can be described as black box testing was used when testing the software modules in the system.A test tool framework was developed together with a graphical user interface.To evaluate framework two modules were tested.The framework was implemented in C++ and C#.The test tool framework turned out to be useful immediately since it was developed side by side to the tested software modules.
