Chapter 3<strong>System</strong> DevelopmentIn our study, a software system, called "Evaluation <strong>System</strong> <strong>for</strong> TEst Engineering (ES-TEEM)", has been developed. The goal of this system is to nd maximal prot test strategyin the early stage of the design.This system is intended <strong>for</strong> use by industry, because we try to collect design data fromthem <strong>for</strong> more precise models in the future. Thus, the hole system is designed to be accessedfrom Internet. User can connect to our system <strong>for</strong>m arbitrary computer via web browser.Besides, the system also provide security to protect data of each user.Because the cost strongly depends on the design ow of each company, the users mustmodify equations and parameters in our models to match the condition of their companies.The design of the user interface needs to be more exible that user can easily modify theequations and parameters on line. Moreover, user can customize their own default modelequations and parameters <strong>for</strong> convenience.In the rest of this chapter, we describe details of the ESTEEM system. The systemarchitecture will be introduced in the rst section. Then, we shows the analyze ow of oursystem in the second section. The third section demos the user interface and the last sectionexplains the algorithm of the analyze engine program in our system.3.1 <strong>System</strong> ArchitectureThe architecture of the whole system is shown in Figure 3.1. Our system includes programsin server and client. Some of those programs are well-developed packages, so we just needto custom them to t our system.35
