Full coverage of Software Testing, from both the Functional and Structural viewpoints, is a key aspect in the assurance of Safety-Critical Systems, and a major portion of the Development effort. A strategy has been developed to achieve most of coverage during module testing in isolation. A Testing Environment allowing to describe the test cases in an understandable and formal language, and to execute them on the Target machine has been developed. It produces automatically a detailed set of Test Reports, covering the Modules functionality as well as the Modules structure and execution threads down to the machine elementary instructions It has been integrated · with SD-SCICONs Perspective Development Environment and targeted for the Motorola M680XO Microprocessors. The Testing Phase of the Software Development Life Cycle has been formalized in much the same way as the Application Software Development, introducing a standard approach, a set of rules and Configuration Management of the Module Test Sets, along with a substantial advantage in terms of efficiency and usage of human and machine resources. The product is currently in operation and has been extensively used on the EH101 Autopilot Safety-Critical Software.
