Innovative Testing for Take-Off
W18 Start Time : 14:45 End Time : 15:30
With planning and construction of airport-buildings, the functional aspects (like boarding process, functionality of baggage conveyor systems, evacuation process etc.), provided by innovative ICT-Systems, are often underestimated and incompletely considered, integration testing is usually neglected.
Based on our experience of the successful opening of Vienna’s new airport terminal Skylink we will describe the challenges in software testing to combine the needs of functionality and architecture. We merged the requirements of construction and ICT and conducted a well-planned and thorough integration test which showed that standard test methods applied in construction projects, have to be more flexible and tailored to consider additional influences.
Our main finding was, that testing multiple ICT Systems in a fully integrated building requires a new style of leadership and test approach, in order to enable multiple testers to execute the same Test case synchronously in different systems and buildings, verifying the system behaviour in “real-life”.
