Enhancing Functional Testing Efficiency in Industrial Large-Scale Applications: Pertinent Test Selection
Introduction In modern software development, application reliability relies on effective testing strategies. Altough unit and integration tests secure internal consistency, functional testing remains essential for validating user-facing behaviors. For large-scale applications like Alpha Tool, running thousands of functional tests is challenging: it consumes vast resources, slows down delivery, and complicates analysis. This article explores the challenge of large-scale functional testing in Alpha Tool and shows how selecting only needed test
Multiscale Visualisation: From Territory to BIM View
The technical management of the territory is today a challenge that requires being able to manage objects such as the city or the building and space which contains them at different scales. The following video demonstrates our research prototype integrated into CARL Source for multi-scale management of equipment. You will see that it is possible
The MOTUS Project: Automatic Grouping by Theme of Support Tickets
Dear Project Managers, imagine if you could regroup automatically the thousands of maintenance tickets by topic in just one click. It would be nice no? This would have tremendous implications in priorising the bug fixing, improvement requests, new features, etc. Thus, saving significant amount of time and making better decisions. Well, this is what we
Optimizing Maintenance Planning for CARL Software
The management of the maintenance interventions planning is complicated. A large set of constraints must be considered when managing the plan such as the adequacy between skills and intervention acts, the respect of contracts and the availability of technicians, etc. As a result, the production of a plan becomes a big challenge, as we often
AI and Edge Computing at the service of IoT : Realization of an Augmented Sensor
