Utveckling av testverktyg för mjukvara med fysiska komponenter / Development of a Testing Tool for Software with Physical ComponentsAndersson, Adam January 2018 (has links)
A lot of time is spent on manual software testing. When software can interact with exponentially more and more components the number of tests required will increase at the same rate. Automation of these manual tests has been previously shown that a time-saving can occur with test automation. When tests need to be done on software that interacts with physical components the results of testing automation are harder to predict. This thesis aims to explain the impact of physical components on the development and the result of test tools developed for use on automated tests on objects with physical components. In this work, a test tool for automatic regression testing for height adjustable table legs were developed. The method used to design the tool was Design Science Research where, for example, TESLA was adapted for use in automated tests with physical components. TESLA is a language for specifying test cases and allowing test automation with embedded systems that was implemented in the test tool's design which could be used to automatically generate scripts and automatically executes test cases. With the development and design of the testing tool, the thesis attempted to answer how a test tool should be designed when physical components are included in the test object and how the measurement accuracy of the tool may affect the test result. Experiments have been carried out during the development process where regression tests have been performed according to a test protocol. During these experiments a test protocol is executed. One manually by hand and one is done automatically with the testing tool. The results of the experiments show that the execution of the test protocol execution with the test tool gave a time saving of 35% compared to the manual tests. The physical components of the test object were shown to affect the automatic execution time negative and further analysis of previous research has shown that this result is insufficient to justify the large initial time that is required to automate tests. / Mycket tid spenderas ofta på manuell testning av mjukvara. Då en mjukvara kan interagera med exponentiellt mer komponenter så kommer antalet tester att öka i samma takt. Automatisering av dessa manuella tester har med tidigare forskning bevisat att en tidsbesparing kan ske med testautomatiseringen. Då tester måste utföras på mjukvara som interagerar med fysiska komponenter så är resultaten av testautomatisering inte lika klara och arbetet syftar på att förklara de fysiska komponenternas påverkan på utveckling och resultatet för testverktyg som används till automatisk testning av testobjekt med fysiska komponenter. I detta arbete så framtogs ett testverktyg för automatiska regressionstest för höj och sänkbara bordsben. Metoden som användes för att utveckla verktyget var Design Science Research där till exempel TESLA anpassades för användning i automatiska tester med fysiska komponenter. TESLA är ett språk för att specificera testfall och möjliggöra testautomatisering i inbyggda system implementerades i testverktygets design och kunde då automatisk generera skript och automatiskt exekvera testfall. Med utvecklingen och design av testverktyget så försökte arbetet svara på hur ett testverktyg bör vara designat när fysiska komponenter ingår i testobjektet och hur testverktygets mätnoggrannhet kan påverka testresultatet. Experiment har utförts under arbetets gång där regressionstester har utförts enligt ett testprotokoll. Under experimenten utfördes ett testprotokoll manuellt för hand och ett automatiskt med testverktyget. I båda situationerna så mättes testprotokollets utförande i tid. Testverktyget gav en tidsbesparing på 35% visavi de manuella testerna. Testobjektets fysiska komponenter hade en negativ påverkan på den automatiska exekveringstiden och vidare analys av tidigare forskning har visat att detta resultat inte räcker för att motivera den stora initiala tidsinvestering som krävs för att automatisera tester.

Sportspesifieke inoefening en antropometriese, fisieke en motoriese vereistes van 15– tot 17–jaar oue vroulike netbalspelers / Y. WillemseWillemse, Yolandi January 2010 (has links)
In the light of the facts given in literature it is evident that players in the game of netball
need to meet specific anthropometric (body length, body mass, percentage body fat and
percentage muscle mass), physical (pliancy, abdominal power, aerobic endurance and
anaerobic endurance) and motor (speed over 5 m and 10 m, agility and explosive
power) requirements. This consequently necessitates specific attention to be given to
the mentioned requirements. In spite of the fact that a few studies do exist that enter
into the requirements of the profile of netball players in different positions, as well as
into what the effect of a periodization programme is on anthropometric, physical and
motor requirements, voids do exist regarding the positional profile of 15 to 17 year old
netball players and as to what the effect is of a sport specific periodization programme
in the course of a season on 15 to 17 year old netball players.
In the light of the above–mentioned, this study was undertaken with the aim to:
1) Determine the requirements for 15 to 17 year old netball players;
2) Compile positional profile scales of netball specific requirement for 15 to 17 year old
players in the Tlokwe region;
3) Establish the effect of a sport specific periodization programme on anthropometric,
physical and motor requirements for 15 to 17 year old female netball players, of a
specific school in the Tlokwe region, in the course of a season.
96 players (28 goalkeepers, 44 centre court players and 24 defenders) between ages
15 and 17 years from two high schools in the North–West Province were used in the
study to determine positional differences. A group of only 22 player of one school was
exposed to a sport specific periodization programme for purposes of the study, since
the coach and players from only one school’s teams were prepared to participate in the
sport scientific intervention programme for the full duration of the netball season. The
afore–mentioned group was evaluated over a period of two years, namely prior to the start of the season (T1), after conclusion of the season once the sport specific
periodization programme was completed (T2), prior to the start of the season in the
subsequent year (T3) and after conclusion of the season without the sport specific being
followed. The data is processed on the basis of descriptive statistics. Furthermore, the
practical significance of test result changes between the respective groups and different
test sessions were compared using Cohen’s effect size.
Literature was consulted to determine whether specific requirements exist for netball
players and whether differences occur in the three positional groups. However, no
literature could be traced in which only netball specific requirements for 15 to 17 year
old players were focused on. The literature did indeed point out clear anthropometric
differences between the three positional groups, namely attacking, centre court and
defence players in club and elite netball players. The goalkeeper and defence players
are, according to literature, considerably taller and heavier than the centre court players.
Literature also indicated that differences do indeed occur regarding physical and motor
requirements. Centre court players are significantly faster and more agile than the
goalkeeper and defenders. However, there were components of which the differences
were not prominent concerning the three positional groups.
Where a specific positional profile of anthropometric, physical and motor requirements
for 15 to 17 year old female netball players was composed from available data of
players in the North–West Province, Tlokwe region, the results of the anthropometric
requirements indicated that body length showed a large significant difference between
the three positional groups, with defenders being the tallest, followed by goalkeepers,
and the centre court players being the shortest. Body mass also showed a medium
significant difference between goalkeepers and centre court players as well as between
centre court players and defence players. Goalkeepers were heavier than centre court
players, and defenders also showed a higher body mass than centre court players. The
other two variables, namely percentage fat and percentage muscle mass, only showed
small practically significant differences, in this group of netball players, between the test
sessions.
With the physical and motor requirements, results indicated that large practically
significant differences occurred in vertical jumping, 5 m speed, 10 m speed and agility between the groups. The general trend observed in the profiles was that the largest
significant differences occurred between goalkeepers and defence players on the one
hand and centre court players on the other. Vertical jump and speed showed a large
significant difference between goalkeepers and centre court players as well as between
centre court players and defenders, although the goalkeepers and defenders’ results
corresponded considerably. Other large significant differences occurred in the 10 m
speed as well as in 505–agility to the left between centre court players and defenders.
In summary it can be mentioned that the most and the largest significant differences
occurred between goalkeepers and centre court players as well as between defenders
and centre court players. Only one medium significant difference occurred between the
goalkeepers and defenders, which is ankle dorsiflexion and which can be ascribed to
injuries. From this it can be inferred that a positional profile can indeed be compiled for
the different positional groups in netball, but that the requirements of positional variables
between goalkeepers and defenders correspond largely and that the large difference
between the last–mentioned two groups occur when compared with those of the centre
court players of this specific group.
The results of the group of twenty–two players that were evaluated twice during the
course of both netball seasons indicate that the variable that showed a large significant
difference between T1 and T2, following the sport specific periodization program, was
body mass (inverted difference). Although there was no large significant difference, it
can clearly be deduced from the graphs presented in the study that a visible difference
(improvement) was observed in most of the variables. The variables that showed a
large practically significant difference with the training of the coach’s general
programme, were ankle dorsiflexion on the left, abdominal power and 5 m speed
(inverted effect). A number of variables indeed existed that also showed medium and
small significant differences during the course of both seasons, but it will not be
mentioned here.
A number of shortcomings and recommendations did indeed come to the fore during
and after the course of the study. It should, however, be borne in mind that such a
structured periodization programme is very important for the development of netball
potential. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Human Movement Science))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.
