Test points in self-testing

This paper is devoted to the implementation of self-testing, which is one of the smart technologies. Self-testing contains two components: full set of test cases and built-in testing mechanism (self-testing mode). The test cases have been collected since project start and they have been used in integration, acceptance and regression testing. The built-in self-testing mode provides execution of test cases and comparison of test results with saved standard values in different environments. This paper continues the approach described in article An Implementation of Self-Testing, expanding it with the concept of a test point, which allows flexible control of testing actions. Furthermore, the paper describes the first implementation of self-testing using test points.
