Automated software test development in Python in a Linux environment. Existing ground control system requirements, test case design, and pseudo code will be utilized to develop automated test cases.

• Test cases will be verified by executing against target ground control system software. Resolution of any issues will either be by writing a discrepancy against system software, or updating the test case, as appropriate.
• Perform formal test conduct as part of the Functional Qualification Test (FQT) of the ground control system software. Formally document results in a Test Report, as appropriate
