Artifact Assessment Tool Suite Infrastructure (AATSI)

Tracking the quality, completeness, standards adherence and consistency of radio software from initial requirements, coding, testing, all the way through to production is a complex and error-prone task involving a myriad of people, processes, and technologies. The various groups responsible and involved in the critical radio software engineering phase such as development, configuration management, testers, release, users, etc. are often separated by organizational boundaries, disconnected toolsets, or possibly even vast geographic locations. Automation and integration of such efforts is key to solving this issue, to include integration of relevant processes, tools, analysis capabilities, artifact management and other related efforts. An excellent opportunity exists to solve this problem of disconnected efforts by implementing a program such as AATSI. The goal for AATSI is to support compliance and quality assessment analysis of digital artifacts produced for all phases of code intensive product development, particularly code intended for embedded real-time systems. Additionally, this effort will provide opportunities to extend these capabilities to provide historical reporting and tracking for the life cycle of the products. It will allow various teams to work together seamlessly within the same infrastructure, supporting the efficient and successful delivery of radio software.
