Software development and testing for shipyard robotic welding

Software Development and Testing in a shipyard environment is a challenging task, due to many difficulties arising. An intelligent robotic welding system installed in a shipyard and consisted of several sub-systems running on different platforms and using separate software, was the object of software development methodology presented in the paper. The several quality factors, the sequential development steps and the testing reviews are presented. A validation of project at the end, gives useful information for future consideration of the proposed methodology, case of similar development and testing.
