Semi-Automatic Testing of Data-Focused Software Development Kits for Industrie 4.0

2022 IEEE 20th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN), pp. 269–274

Abstract

The digital twin, or more precisely the Asset Administration Shell, is the key element for interoperability in Industrie 4.0. Together with the asset, it forms the I4.0 component. For the development of I4.0 components, the availability of suitable software development tools is becoming increasingly relevant. However, it is not yet specified how these tools are to be systematically tested for correctness, compliance and conformity. These topics are the focus of this work. We show different established testing methods, evaluate their suitability and describe an approach for a capable test environment.
