Abstract
A method of testing a physical system that includes software and hardware includes developing a software application arranged to operate at least a portion of the physical system and constructing a simulation of the physical system within a test ecosystem, the simulation including inputs that simulate control inputs of the physical system and outputs that simulate control and informational outputs. The method also includes connecting the software application to the simulation of the physical system to test the operation of the software application, and simulating operation of the physical system and the software application within test ecosystem operation of the software application as each of a cloud application, a network operation of the software application as each of a cloud application, a network application, and a local application.
