Durchfahrende Züge und Fahrzeuge werden per Kameraportal aufgenommen, die Bilder mit Datenbanken abgeglichen und so pro Fahrzeug (Achse, Rad, usw.) dessen Zustand "en passant" verfolgt.
Die Software WIN, die insbesondere die zeitlichen Verläufe zum Thema hat, ist dies aus System- und Abnahmeebene zu testen und die Defects entsprechend zu managen.
Da es verschiedene Stakeholder mit unterschiedlichen Interessen im Projekt gibt (Personenverkehr, Cargo, Infrastruktuarbteilungen), sind auch unterschiedliche Anforderungen und Perspektiven zu berücksichtigen. Vorbereitend zu den Abnahme- und Systemvalidierungstests wurde eine Tool-Evaluierung vorgenommen und Jira, Xray & insbesondere Structure für die gesamte Kette Requirement-Testfallspezifikation-Defect im Projekt eingeführt.
Da die Requirements in Polarion verwaltet werden, wurde eine funktionsfähige Bridge PolarionJira gemeinsam mit der entsprechenden Abteilung aufgesetzt.

Transition of Testing to DevOps, test automation, test framework setup, test case specification,
validation, reporting, automation, regression tests
Midleware is to be verified by tests:
Non-functional tests for wireless transmission of data message telegrams
between central train control system server and mobile device for the train
driver have to be specified, and executed; coping with both requirement-based
tests for validation reports, and use-case based tests to enable maximum
customer satisfaction;
Agile approach by direct, problem-centered communication in scrum-team together
with business analysts/requirement engineers, software developers, product
owner, stakeholders

maintained with git; regression tests with Jenkins, report generation of
automated testsuites as well as manual test execution; coping with both
requirement-based tests to reach 100% coverage for validation reports, and
use-case based tests to enable maximum customer satisfaction; bug reporting and
change request tracking with Mantis
Agile adaption to changes: if by changing customer requests, late adjustments
of requirements (with consequences for test case specifications,
implementations, and result interpretation), testcases that needed to be
corrigated (with consequences for result interpretation), regression test
result evaluation and configuration & version management
Agile approach by direct, problem-centered communication within the testing
team as well as between the three involved teams 'requirement engineering',
'software development', and 'testing team', together with the intensively
involved customer

PIES TCMS for TWINDEXX Do2010 "Iron Bird Light"
Software & system test case specification, validation, reporting, automation
Test and test automatisation for PIES (passenger information and entertainment
system) integrated to TCMS (train control and management system) for european
TWINDEXX double-decker trains
Due to the nature of PIES, integration tests have often to be executed
semi-automatically using real subsystem devices to get feedback of the
interplay of the several involved components. In opposite to pure TCMS tests,
PIES+TCMS integration tests live from human evaluation of the feedback.
Therefore, to provide software development department with fastest feedback,
the test focus for PIES+TCMS integration was moved to script-based
semi-automatic testcases.
Additionally, level 2 & 3 test execution for PIES related subsystem controllers
as VCS (audio), TFT and dot-matrix displays for PIES, PCS (passenger counting)
& SRC (seat reservation)
Enhancing proprietary test tool infrastructure for MD telegrams and other
improvements as automated coupling

HMI components for both cross-carline families MQB and MLB. This involves all
necessary tasks in the field of testing (evaluation of testoptions, especially
test automation, test specifications, coordination of test constructions and
test executions), including configuration management and changing requirements
which forced to agile testing to assure quick adaptions, restructuring of
testplans and reports, etc
