New Languages and Tools for Testing

May 21, 2025 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

The evolving landscape of software testing in avionics, may have emphasized the need for new languages and tools to address future challenges. While traditional programming languages have been the mainstay, there is a growing interest in model-based approaches and alternative languages like RUST and CHERI. We need to consider emerging technologies like hardware extensions and containerization when developing new testing tools. Containerization, in particular, has revolutionized software development by enabling the creation of reusable code modules. What are the latest trends, tools and developing languages in testing? As the avionics industry continues to evolve, it is essential to invest in innovative testing tools and methodologies to ensure the safety and reliability of software systems.
