Automated regression testing in Power Grids applications

Abstract: During development of any kind, the testing process is a big part in terms of time and money. Automating the testing procedure to run regression tests more frequent and in an effective manner makes the development phase a simpler and more development focused activity. This thesis will study the possibility of automating the release testing of new platforms by using statistical tolerances on ABB FACTS products. To do this, a research and literature study regarding tolerances within control systems and automated testing including regression testing is used. The result of the study presents a proof of concept that the release testing can be automated using statistical tolerances as verification.
