CSIAC Webinar: Simulation-Based Testing for DoD Software

The discipline of software testing is changing to align with the automated processes of Agile DevSecOps. Automated testing is executed by running test scripts or scenarios against the System Under Test (SUT) without human intervention. With many types of software (such as U.S. Department of Defense [DoD] applications), a challenging aspect of this testing is generating synthetic data and activity to stimulate the SUT.
Modeling and simulation (M&S) can help by providing representative test data from synthetic actors in a synthetic environment. Building on current M&S tools, a simulation-based testing (SBT) approach can inject synthetic test data into a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline.
This webinar will cover the following SBT-related topics:
Automated testing best practices
M&S-as-a-Service (MSaaS) concepts
Cloud-native SBT system architecture
Using commercial/government off-the-shelf simulation engines (STK, AFSIM, OneSAF, and NGTS)
Integrating SBT with a CI/CD toolchain
Case study showing how SBT can provide regression tests and quality gates

This session will review new guidelines under Executive Order (EO) 14028. The National Institute of Standards and Technology, in consultation with industry and other federal agencies, is completing standards and guidelines updates and new software supply chain security requirements affecting software acquisition. The initiatives apply to the full federal software supply chain, including consumer software and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
