Verification and Validation Issues and Implications for Reuse
نویسنده
چکیده
Reuse has proved to be an elusive goal in software development organizations. Many language constructs and design principles have been introduced with the hope of creating just the appropriate abstraction that will support the creation of reusable software. None of these efforts have achieved sufficient magnitude to contribute significant cost savings. Recent industrial experience and research has shown that previous efforts have been too narrowly focused. This has led to techniques that take a comprehensive organizational approach to achieve strategic levels of reuse. These techniques can and are being applied to the verification and validation in modeling and simulation organizations.

Pragmatic Verification Reuse in a Vertical World
Successful application of block-level verification reuse improves the effectiveness of the top-level environment by providing additional checks, coverage and messages (and in some cases stimulus) which, as well as detecting more bugs, helps speed up debug for other system-level defects by providing improved internal visibility and enhanced bug isolation. Despite these benefits consistent effici...
متن کاملVerification and Validation of Common Derivative Terms Approximation in Meshfree Numerical Scheme
In order to improve the approximation of spatial derivatives without meshes, a set of meshfree numerical schemes for derivative terms is developed, which is compatible with the coordinates of Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical. Based on the comparisons between numerical and theoretical solutions, errors and convergences are assessed by a posteriori method, which shows that the approximations...
متن کاملResearch Issues in Characterizing the Performance of Reusable Software Components
The software reuse practices of many organizations could be described as “ad hoc,” at best. Some reuse efforts do not consider even basic concepts such as completely specifying or correctly verifying reusable code. Those organizations that do attempt to specify formally their reusable assets often do so at the expense of neglecting issues concerned with performance. The area of Software Perform...
متن کاملReusable Verification Environment for Verification of Ethernet
Design reuse and verification reuse are important to satisfy time to-market requirements. Designer must be able to reuse Intellectual Property in the design as golden model. Reuse of verification environment across different designs of the domain saves time to market further and improves total design verification quality. The Physical Layer is a fundamental layer upon which all higher level fun...
متن کاملSpecifying Building Automation Systems with PROBAnD, a Method Based on Prototyping, Reuse, and Object-orientation
In this article, the PROBAnD requirements engineering method, which is specialized towards the domain of building automation systems, is presented. The method bases on object-orientation to handle complexity, reuse to gain efficiency as well as product quality, and prototyping to enable test-based verification and validation early in the development process. To demonstrate the applicability and...
