Software reuse for hydraulic component test stands: a case study

This paper is an update to information presented at Autotestcon 1991. Presented are lessons learned from a practical reuse of a large C++ library that has been developed for hydraulic component testing. This software is currently being used by HR Textron to supply semi-automatic/automatic servovalve and servocylinder test stands. The lessons learned are presented in the context of servovalve and servocylinder testing in order to associate abstract software development issues to real world systems.
