Generic Framework for Stress Testing of Real-time Systems

The development and sustainability of military equipment for a country is much dynamic for its national interests. Although this practice is not easy, because in this technology drenched milieu, the military environment is evolving and changing constantly. It is expensive and time consuming as well. Modeling and simulation are used in logistic real-time systems to make them more effective. Many studies have used these techniques for testing of real-time systems. No specific study has been found performing the stress testing of time-critical situations of real-time. With no exaggeration, stress testing of real time systems is crucial to define its characteristics. Such systems are difficult to test in a real environment because it requires a lot of incursions. The attack angle and formation are some other perilous functions. This article not only presents an innovative framework for the stress testing of an Air Defense System in which modular tactic is adopted to design and implement the system, but also performs tests to prove its validity. This framework is proposed to test an air defense system. The proposed framework will provide decision makers with prophylactic situations and help in making decisions more effective in time-critical situations of Air Defense avoiding unnecessary loss in extreme stress environments.
