ABSTRACT = {This paper is an experience report on a first attempt
to develop and apply a new form of software: a fullservice
testbed designed to evaluate alternative software
dependability technologies, and to accelerate their
maturation and transition into project use. The SCRover
testbed includes not only the specifications, code, and
hardware of a public safety robot, but also the package of
instrumentation, scenario drivers, seeded defects,
experimentation guidelines, and comparative effort and
defect data needed to facilitate technology evaluation
experiments.
The SCRover testbed’s initial operational capability
has been recently applied to evaluate two architecture
definition languages (ADLs) and toolsets, Mae and
AcmeStudio. The testbed evaluation showed (1) that the
ADL-based toolsets were complementary and costeffective
to apply to mission-critical systems; (2) that the
testbed was cost-effective to use by researchers; and (3)
that collaboration in testbed use by researchers and the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) project users resulted in
actions to accelerate technology maturity and transition
into project use. The evaluation also identified a number
of lessons learned for improving the SCRover testbed,
and for development and application of future technology
evaluation testbeds.},
