• Research Line(s): Fault and Intrusion Tolerance in Open Distributed Systems (FIT)
• Sponsor: P2020
• Project Number: 17039 XIVT
• Coordinator: Bombardier, Sweden
• Partners: 23 partners from Canada, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, and Turkey
• Start Date: Nov. 2018
• Duration: 36 months
• Keywords: software testing, security, variant testing
• Team at FCUL: Researchers including Ibéria Medeiros, Nuno Ferreira Neves, António Casimiro, Francisco Araujo, Ana Fidalgo

Within the XIVT project, a method and toolchain will be defined for testing highly configurable, variant-rich embedded systems in the automotive, rail, telecommunication and industrial production domains. This will enable a highly effective, cost-efficient quality assurance, allowing the shift to autonomous, flexible and adaptive applications. The method is founded on a knowledge-based analysis of requirements formulated in natural language, and a model-based test generation at product-line level. It is expected that XIVT methods will result in higher test coverage, more flexible processes of higher quality and better products.
