Abstract
Growing competitive pressure requires the companies to plan their systems without cost-intensive iteration loops. A promising approach for decreasing the commissioning time is the virtual commissioning (VC). The primary objective of VC is the validation of the system’s control program due to the fact that correcting software errors is the time-consuming part during commissioning. For this reason, the approach for scenario-based test specifications enables the verification of the control program regarding desired and undesired system behaviour at an early stage of the development process.
