Abstract

According to the invention, the operating software 10 of a technical system, particularly of a controller for controlling or regulating at least one technical device, is modified by virtue of hardware-dependent software components in the operating software 10 executable directly on the technical system not being executed and instead the functional behavior of the hardware-dependent software components being recreated by substitute functions 23. To this end, the hardware-dependent software components are automatically identified (step S1), and the substitute functions 23 are automatically ascertained or produced. On execution in a suitable simulation environment 200 (step S3), the operating software 20 modified in this way simulates the technical system independently of the real hardware 100 thereof.
