Abstract :
The tests developed and used during the integration phase of a project are similar to the tests used during the factory production phase of a project. In order to reuse the integration tests in the factory, the test conditions, test equipment, and test procedures need to be identical. Reusing the integration tests for factory testing takes additional effort at the beginning of the project but is cost effective in the long run
