Thesis: Automated unit test generation from textual requirument

Background:
Volvo Construction Equipment (VCE), a division of Volvo Group, is one of the world's largest manufacturers of construction equipment such as wheel loaders, haulers, excavators, road machinery, and compact machines. At the Advanced Engineering & Core Technology organization within VCE, innovation infiltrates every aspect of our product development process – from early conceptual exploration through to production. As well as optimizing conventional technology, we are developing radical, game-changing solutions such as fully electric and hydrogen-based solutions.
This means fast prototyping and short lead times while maintaining quality at the highest level. As part of the development process, developers perform software in the loop (SIL) and hardware in the loop (HIL) tests for new functionality as well as regression tests, directly on their desk.


Responsibilities:
Develop a solution for automated unit test generation from textual requirements
Integrate solution with our development environment for SIL testing
Benchmark alternative test generation strategies





Suitable background:
The master thesis (15 ECTS) is suitable for one student that is completing studies in Embedded systems / Software engineering or equivalent.
