Abstract :
In this paper, the authors present an example of how the ValiTest Pro testing methodology was used to structure tests for a personnel safety system. They constructed validation matrixes to map PSS system requirements to their respective unit level of tests in order to measure the system´s test coverage. They integrated a suite of four software-testing tools onto a single computer platform with a fifth tool working separately on a separate notebook computer
