Abstract

The Consolidated Automated Support System (CASS), designed primarily for use on board Navy aircraft carriers, has been mandated by the Secretary of the Navy for use as the standard ATE for all Navy field and depot activities. To minimize the cost of fielding newly developed Test Program Sets (TPSs), the test programmer should use as much of the code developed for manufacturing and acceptance testing as possible. This paper describes a means of optimizing the automatic generation of test code for the factory using graphical virtual instrument panels, and translating the resultant instrument setup or command to syntactically correct CASS ATLAS test code
