Software testing: cost reduction in Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 is changing every perspective of production. This new industry requires the evolution of every aspect of the systems faster than ever before. In this situation, validation and verification emerge as a significant phase of the life cycle of software projects. A software failure could result in catastrophic consequences, so it is crucial that all systems work correctly in production. In this work, we present a collaborative project between the University of Cadiz and Navantia. Navantia is a leader shipbuilding Spanish company which develops grand industrial software projects. The objective of this work is to decrease the total cost of these projects by automatizing the software testing phase.
