SCADE LifeCycle Qualified Testing Environment (QTE) provides test engineers with a complete testing environment for creating and managing Test Cases, managing test results, and automating execution of test cases on host and on target.
Test creation and maintenance, together with test execution on host and test adaptation for target execution, are very time consuming activities.
Test engineers using SCADE LifeCycle QTE for verification
activities can now benefit from best-in-class technology in both a model-based approach and a cost-effective testing environment, allowing them to significantly reduce testing efforts.
SCADE LifeCycle QTE is made of QTE for Host and QTE for Target.

Test Creation
SCADE LifeCycle QTE for Host provides an interactive and a batch user interface. From the interactive interface, test engineers can create and manage test data, setup and launch test execution, and finally, obtain summarized and detailed test execution reports.
All features are available in batch command line allowing for the automation of test campaigns or non-regression testing.
The QTE application interface is shared with SCADE Suite®, providing an intuitive and integrated environment.
For test creation, QTE for Host provides key features:
• Modular Test Language allowing reuse and factorization (initialization sequence)
• Interactive management of tests within Test Projects and Test Results Projects
• Readability of test cases for efficient reviews• Tabular (csv) or textual (sss) format allowed• Powerful checking capacity of expected results
• Invariant checking
• Accuracy tolerance customization per data or group of data
• Test Cases defined independently from model implementation.
• Table of aliases to associate logical names to implementation names. Such table is reusable for all test cases.
• Easy maintenance of test data

Model Testing
SCADE LifeCycle QTE for Host allows early testing at model level. Test coverage analysis is performed at model level thanks to integration with SCADE Suite Model Test Coverage (MTC). Tests developed at model level can be automatically executed on host.
QTE for Host includes a qualified Test Execution Engine for model testing that supports the verification of:
• Compliance to software high-level requirements
• Accuracy and consistency of the model• Algorithm aspects
QTE input formats are fully compatible with SCADE Suite Simulation and MTC (commands in SSS scenario files and STP files)
QTE Test Execution Engine automatically produces a Test conformance report.
The Test conformance report provides detailed test results with a summary to quickly check Test status (Passed or Failed) along with further details to localize and understand issues.
Once test cases are created and executed on host, QTE for Host provides the capability to measure the Model Coverage of test cases. This is done using SCADE Suite MTC, and it allows users to:
• compute how thoroughly the SCADE Suite model was tested
• detect dead/deactivated/unintended requirements contained in the model and/or inadequacies in requirements above the model
QTE for Host also generates a model coverage report containing detailed test results with a summary. Users can therefore quickly consider test coverage and details to identify and understand issues.
Target Testing
SCADE LifeCycle QTE for Target automates the generation of target test harness for COTS on-Target Test Execution tools (IBM Rational® Test RealTime, LDRA TestBed®, Vector Software VectorCAST™)
QTE for Target includes a Test Harness Generator which is customizable for integration in any in-house or COTS Target Test infrastructure.
Application Lifecycle Management
QTE provides Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) capabilities:
• Traceability to requirements can be made with SCADE LifeCycle Requirements Management Gateway. Traceability matrices can be automatically generated.
• Configuration Management of test cases can be made with any CM tool.
• Test Data are Read/Write accessible from ALM/PLM tools through a Tcl and Java API
