Tools for testing and certification of distributed, dynamic configurations of a total ship computing environment.

This project will develop a set of component certification procedures and a test suite designed for use with adaptive, dynamic systems, such as TSCE. Based on the best-practice processes embodied in The Open Group's existing testing and certification procedures, the new processes will work with the run-time resource management subsystem and will support an incremental and evolutionary process of certification of mission suitability. The new procedures will incorporate real-time latency and availability metrics within the acceptance criteria both for subsystems and for the overall system.
