Performance Verification Module Design for Safety Operation Support Service of MASS

Abstract

Safety operation support service (SOS service) is composed of six services to efficiently support Maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) such as navigation, arrival and departure, cargo operation, inspection, etc. Since this service is developed based on software, performance verification of the service program should be accompanied. There are two methods to verify software. The first is a functional test, which verifies the function of the software and the second is a non-functional test, which verifies the rest except for the function. This study designed modules for performance verification of SOS service through the two test methods. The functional test identifies the implemented function based on the requirement specification for each service and to determine whether the function operates. The non-functional test determines the adequacy of the rest of the performance except for the function such as recovery ability, reliability, usability, etc. Especially for usability testing, user for each service and essential information for each user was classified to improve the efficiency of testing.
