abstract |
Testing is essential in developing a successful complex engineering product. System
level integration and testing can use between 35% and 50% of development resources.
External factors such as legislation and customer requirements drive essential testing
whilst internal factors such company experience, affordability and organizational
practice profoundly affect the overall testing plan. The main objective of this paper
is to understand how testing is integrated into the product development process and
how different types of testing are scheduled across the stages of product development.
The paper reports a case study in a diesel engine company where the balance of virtual
and physical testing is a key concern in reducing design time and cost. Integrating
physical and virtual testing is more than process optimization of time and cost. It
contributes to recasting the design process in response to changes in customer requirements
as well as to design changes which arise during testing. The importance of dependencies
across components, subsystems and tests is highlighted using a model using Design
Structure Matrices and the advantages of iterating physical and virtual testing are
analysed particularly in facilitating task overlap to reduce product development duration. |
