Abstract
A method for testing platforms (e.g., live, virtual, and/or constructive platforms associated with autonomous aircraft systems and their component subsystems) in a live/virtual/constructive (LVC) environment. In embodiments, the method includes determining, via a testbed engine, the development state of a platform component under test. The method includes retrieving a test to be executed, the test including test conditions to be applied to the component. The method includes determining whether the component is enabled to respond to the test conditions. The method includes, if the component is enabled to respond to the test conditions, executing the test while monitoring the component to detect a first output response and a second output response. The method includes identifying, via the testbed engine, at least one change in the development state of the component by comparing the first and second output responses.
