Control computer systems for automatic logistic systems contain reactive modules, which are usually tested on-site, in conjunction with the real environment. This leads to high-test costs and unsatisfactory test coverage. Environment simulation models offer an execution environment for customizable, in-house testing. Architecture and process model of WATIS2, a flexible, efficient and expansible environment simulation system for automatic logistic systems are presented. Experiments in an industrial environment show a high model reuse rate and a significant improvement of baseline software development regarding software quality and project cost, in this way justifying a systematic application of WATIS2.
