Summary
This thesis proposes a Virtual Testing Framework that aims to improve the effi-
ciency of the testing process and accessibility of testing during the development
process of industrial I/O modules, which leads to reducing the necessary re-
sources and time required for testing the developed modules. This work closely
analyzes the current testing process in one of the leading companies in the field
and identifies areas for improvement. The proposed solution addresses the most
significant inefficiencies in the development process by providing a testing en-
vironment that increases the frequency, accessibility and precision of testing.
The thesis also includes a demonstration of the Virtual Testing Framework
functionality and an evaluation of the impact on the project delivery process
with a special focus on a project management perspective.
