Testing Cyber-Physical Production System: Test Methods Categorization and dataset

Developing High-confidence Cyber-Physical Production System (CPPS) is essential to ensure system efficacy and safety. Engineering requirements for CPPS is quite tricky because of system heterogeneity. Moreover, system bugs and malfunctions may occur, requiring a test to ensure the robustness of CPPSs. There are several kinds of CPPS test Methods in research. This work aims to categorize test methods of cyber-physical production systems in research. We follow a Systematic Lit-erature Review (SLR) method to review existing research. We synthesize a dataset of 220 papers published from 2006 until 2021 seeking to survey and give structured research in the area of the CPPS test. We categorized CPPS test methods by presenting traditional methods of CPPS tests, such as formal techniques and simulation, in addition to the most used methods as testbed and containerization. We also presented used tools for testing CPPSs, and the objectives of testing CPPS.
