application of automatic systems, including discharge measurement technology is one of the effective methods for improving delivery management, water use efficiency, flexibility, and performance of irrigation networks. several aspects such as hydraulic, technical, physical, environmental, economic, social, and managerial, have significant impact on these systems selection. due to diversity of t...

The tight interaction among an ever increasing amount of software functions and hardware subsystems (mechanics, hydraulics, electronics, etc.) leads to a new kind of complexity that is difficult to manage during mechatronic design. System tests have to consider huge amounts of relevant test cases. Validation with limited resources (time and costs) is a challenge for the development teams. We pr...

The Formation Autonomy Spacecraft with Thrust, Relnav, Attitude, and Crosslink (FASTRAC) project from the University of Texas at Austin has developed two nanosatellites as the winner of the University Nanosat-3 Competition. Both satellites have been manifested for a launch provided by the Space Test Program (STP) in December of 2009. The FASTRAC satellites will demonstrate the following enablin...

The most striking feature of SDLC is software testing. It is very labour-intensive and expensive process in software development and handling as well as maintenance of software. The main objective of this paper is to extend the testing technique. Testing is to show the incorrectness and is considered to succeed when an error is detected [Myers79]. Today’s automatic testing has replaced manual t...

In order to reduce the high cost of manual software testing and at the same time to increase the reliability of the testing processes researchers and practitioners have tried to automate it. One of the most important components in a testing environment is an automatic test data generator — a system that automatically generates test data for a given program. Through the years several attempts in...

Current VLSI manufacturing processes suffer from larger defective parts ratio, partly due to numerous emerging defect types. While traditional fault models, such as the stuck at and transition delay fault models are still widely used, they have been shown to be inadequate to handle these new defects. The main aim is to develop a complete behavioral fault simulation and automatic test pattern ge...
