Both problems stated in the “Problem” section, continuous change control and the laborious testing procedure, to me, burdened with agile bigotry, seemed familiar. It was no wonder, since similar questions were posed and solved as a part of eXtreme Programming software development methodology through wide testing automatization. Continue reading

In my previous work, I also developed a mobile robot control system. It was inherently evolutionary, thus it was bound to face the problem of continuous change. But the extent to which the problem was pronounced impressed me much and made me think. Continue reading
Programs in DSS environment are called services. They are not standard windows executables and could run only under DSS application server. They also differ significantly from conventional programs in terms of ideology. But still they are programs. And no matter how thorough you unit test them, or if three quarters of code is occupied with code contract assertions, you are to debug them. Continue reading

Robotics, just like other contemporary research fields, is inherently based on software. Although this type of software deviates considerably from a conventional one, it looks only reasonable for it to adopt and exploit the methods proved useful in traditional software development. This work presents one of such attempts – adaptation of automated acceptance testing to robotics software development. Continue reading
