A Program Testing Method for PDES Application

Abstract

Abstract. As PDES (Parallel and Discrete Event Simulation) applications become larger and more complex, program test for these applications becomes quite difficult. Current test approaches mainly rely on adding test code into program manually to record model data and to execute the given test cases, which are quite time-consuming. To solve this problem, a test method PDES-TCG based on RUM (PDES Test Code Generation) is proposed, which can be used to generate executable test code and insert them into application programs automatically. The test code can record run-time data of simulation models and test simulation entities with given test cases. The method is validated using a simple PDES application.
