Performance testing for smart cards

Abstract

One of the most important parts of Research and Development is traceability. The goal of this project is to illustrate this premise by developing performance tests that allow continuous integration and traceability of the product, whilst giving an overview of the processes involved in developing a new product subject to certifications and standards. From planning, to development and release, this project will focus on the study of the standards and requirements as well as the technical approach and decision making. The project management techniques will also be discussed and explained, to get an insight of the benefits of Agile methodologies in software projects. The target product of this performance quality testing are Smart Cards and, hence, they will be explained and mastered along this project. The impact of the performance testing, is having a powerful traceability tool for continuous integration and continuous improvement. This tool plays a fundamental role in the development of a secure product, in an international secure and restrictive environment. Finally, this project offers a dissertation on Aerospace appliances of Smart Cards and future possibilities for the placement of this product in this field.
