“…All events, which occur during the simulation run, are managed by this component. So, it controls the progress of the entire simulation [24]. Of course, there also other components, which provide additional functionality such as logging, visualization, and so on.…”

“…Hence, all interactions between the real (second type) and simulated (third type) components are performed using the calendar and the events. This can be accomplished easily, since the logic necessary for the interaction with the calendar can be added to the simulated components [24]. Nevertheless, the interactions between two real tested components must be treated in the same way, but it is not possible to add any new logic to the real components, since they are considered black boxes.…”

Component-based software development is an important trend in software engineering. Using this approach, a system can be constructed from a set of individual components (i.e. pieces of software with defined interfaces and functionality). On deployment, components are usually not tested for their correct functionality since this is considered to be implied. Simulation tests are nevertheless often used to determine extra-functional properties and quality of services. However, only models of the components are usually used for such testing. In this paper, we present the SimCo -a simulation framework for testing of real software components in a simulation environment. This enables thorough tests of components without the need to create their (potentially incorrect) models. The SimCo itself is constructed from components as well in order to enable its modularity and usability. The utilization of the SimCo is demonstrated on a case study involving component-based application for the control of a road traffic crossroad.
