Enhanced software design reusability in safety-critical embedded applications using automated structural test generation

Software reuse is an increasingly important goal of many software development strategies in the safety-critical embedded controls industry. Adaptive reuse is a commonly selected methodology to achieve this goal. As automated structural testing technology matures, it will become an essential component in many successful adaptive reuse techniques. This paper explores some of the facets of automated structural test design and examines ifs relationship to software reusability
