Verification and Validation of Third Party PLC Code

摘要

A method for performing verification and validation of third party PLC code includes a marketplace computer receiving a program from a technology developer and identifying variables and operations included in the program. The marketplace computer performs (i) error handling testing on the program to yield error test results; (ii) vulnerability testing on the program to yield vulnerability test results; and (iii) performance testing of the program on target platforms to yield performance test results. Next, the marketplace computer generates a report based on the variables and operations included in the program, the error test results, the vulnerability test results, and the performance test results. This report may be sent by the marketplace computer to the technology developer.

1. A method for performing verification and validation of third party programmable logic controller (PLC) code, the method comprising:
receiving, by a marketplace computer, a program from a technology developer; identifying, by the marketplace computer, variables and operations included in the program; performing, by the marketplace computer, error handling testing on the program to yield error test results; performing, by the marketplace computer, vulnerability testing on the program to yield vulnerability test results; performing, by the marketplace computer, performance testing of the program on target platforms to yield performance test results; generating, by the marketplace computer, a report based on the variables and operations included in the program, the error test results, the vulnerability test results, and the performance test results; and sending, by the marketplace computer, the report to the technology developer.
