Design of automatic test system software

Along with the widely use of Automatic Test System (ATS) in many fields, more and more attention are paid on the compatibility and exchangeability in the design of automatic test software. This makes the developer concentrate themselves more on the development of Test Program Set (TPS) and then the cost and time of development are reduced by the decrease of repeated works. This paper describes the Automatic Test System software design for testing on-board equipments of helicopters. According to the layer standards of ASSET and application of database, we realize the layer design of the system module through the application of database technique by which the general ability and exchangeability are increased.
