Abstract

In the avionics industry, software test automation is a crucial component, as it plays a significant role in accelerating the development process. Since all automation systems are error-prone, the automation systems that affect flight safety should be supervised by humans as they must be reliable. In this study, an augmented reality based software verification system is designed to observe the visual verification of cockpit screens and detect possible automation errors. In the designed system, an observer can instantly see the test steps and automation results using an augmented reality headset as a hologram on the cockpit screen and can report the errors they observe in test automation. The performance of the proposed system was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The experimental results demonstrated that the use of augmented reality in cockpit display verification systems accelerated the testing process, reduced users’ cognitive load, and improved the system’s usability.
