Berner & Mattner supports the international research project FITTEST - Future Internet Testing. The purpose of the project is the development of new technologies for the automated testing of future complex web applications. The increasing networking of embedded systems with the internet can already be observed today, especially in the steady development of car-to-x services in the automotive industry. The project, funded by the European Union, is scheduled to run until August 31, 2013.
The challenge of the project, in particular, lies in the verification of distributed functions. Their complexity arises from the combination of very diverse services available in the web and the possibility to change these peripherally at any time. The correct and estimated functioning of these systems is to be verified permanently through a clever strategy of continuous tests. The evaluation of the FITTEST results runs in case studies carried out by partners involved in the development project. The project, launched a year ago, has already delivered first findings: The solution for testing web applications mainly lies in the development of improved test methods.
