2025 Agenda

ATM systems are increasingly required to evolve under continuous change, driven by faster development cycles, deeper system integrations, and the parallel operation of legacy and SWIM-enabled digital services. In such environments, maintaining confidence, evidence, and compliance at system and procedure level becomes progressively more difficult using traditional testing and assurance approaches.

Building on joint work between ProofIT, an ATM software test automation specialist, and HungaroControl as an ANSP, this presentation focuses on practical experience gained from applying automated, system-level regression testing in complex, real-world ATM environments. Following the early results presented at Airspace World 2024 (Geneva) and 2025 (Lisbon), the session concentrates on lessons learned since then: how system-level testability can be supported across different ATM systems and manufacturers; how portable test cases can be defined to reduce duplicated effort and support adoption across different airspaces and operational contexts; and how such approaches can be aligned with existing ATM compliance and assurance frameworks.

The presentation also shares experience from defining, executing, reporting, and analysing cross-system, procedure-level automated tests that support the day-to-day work of ATSEPs and ATM engineers.

Based on previous Airspace World sessions, the topic is expected to be relevant for a mixed audience including ANSPs, ATM system manufacturers, integrators, and regulatory and policy stakeholders within the ATM domain.
