Background: Test automation is the practice of running tests automatically for the purpose of improving software quality. This is a field that is used in many kinds of areas. Flight simulators are software and hardware that help us achieve flight training and testing without flying. Test automation for flight simulators aims to improve the testing processes for this kind of software.
Objective: To present and provide a comprehensive, unbiased overview of the state of test automation approaches for flight simulators
Method: A Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) of the existing test automation approaches for flight simulators.
Results: 20 papers whose main topic or mentions test automation approaches for flight simulators. The results show that there are multiple ways of achieving test automation, with the purpose of speeding up the testing process and this is mostly on the software level. This field is growing and has since 2007 grown with almost yearly publications.
Conclusions: This is a growing field, and it will likely continue to grow as technology advances and new testing methods and flight software emerges. Currently there is not any go to approach that is widely used, although there are several methods that are slightly more popular than others.
