Abstract

This paper details research performed towards the development of software to rehost test programs. Our research has been specifically targeted to support the rehost of legacy U.S. Army TPSs from the AN/USM-410, Electronic Quality Assurance Test Equipment (EQUATE) station to the AN/TSM-191, Integrated Family of Test Equipment (IFTE). This software has been designed to significantly reduce the effort required to reprogram a TPS to account for hardware and interface differences between the source and target ATS. More importantly, with this system, TPS developers will have a viable method of automating the rehosting of TPSs instead of the time-consuming re-engineering common today
