The Heart Beat Monitor Simulation Software (HB-Sim2020) is to be developed as part of the PROJECT assignment of the Software Testing course at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The main purpose of the software is to be tested during as well as after development to discuss the possible bugs for educational purposes. The software will run a simulation of a generic heartbeat monitor used in a medical facility. The heartbeat monitor should be able to notify the medical team of any anomalies in the oxygen levels, heart beat and blood pressure as well as give a constant update on these current values via a command line interface. Since this software should simulate a heartbeat monitor, it is not connected to any actual sensors and thus will receive it’sinput through a test file.
The main purpose and focus of this project is the investigation and development of software testing techniques based on a simple program implementation. The project starts with the formulation of the Software Requirements Specification (SRS) according to IEEE Std 830-1998. After the SRS is accepted, a software test plan is developed according to ANSI/IEEE Standard 829-1983. The actual implementation follows the developed guidelines from both the SRS and the test plan.
The SRS follows the IEEE Std 830-1989 guideline.

The test phase is divided into two phases, namely (a) black box tests and (b) white box tests. The black-box tests are carried out by another study group in order to achieve an actual black-box test. However, the two phases consist of:
- Requirements Verification full SRS
- Individual Requirements Verification
- Requirements Validation
- Domain testing
- Boundary values analysis
- Equivalence partitioning
- Decision Table Testing
- Test-Driven Development
- Code Review
- Static Code Analysis - linting
- Unit Testing (PyTest and PyCoverage)
- Mutation Testing
- Data Flow Diagram
- Integration Test
- User Acceptance Test
Will be triggered after push into the master branch and executes the following tasks:
- Lint with flake8
- Test with pytest
- Generate test coverage report
See Workflow for more information.
Will be triggered after tag creation (v*) and builds Python standalone packages/executables:
- build Unix (latest) executable
- build Windows (latest) executable
- build MacOS (latest) executable
Every build is packed into a ZIP container and includes a test file named simulation.csv.
See Workflow for more information.
Create a new python virtualenv and execute the following steps:
Run pip:
pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
Install git pre-commit hook for black:
pre-commit install
Create tests into the tests folder and execute tests via running pytest at the project root folder.
To create the test coverage report run
pytest --cov=./ -v
You can also find the current master coverage at the GitHub Actions build report at section Generate coverage report.
