Abstract :
An army C3I system is a network of nodes which may be widely distributed. Validation of these systems involves exercising various configurations in the field with realistic work loads. A test automation system supports such testing by monitoring and reporting on the progress of a test and simulating portions of the C3I system under test. A description is given of general design issues for a prototype test automation system currently under development. Particular attention is paid to the underlying software framework and to simulation aspects of the system
