Abstract

The article considers an improvement of the spacecraft onboard software development by correspondence workflow automation. The analysis of existing in MEDB «MARS» letters workflow was performed to identify the stage where the introduction of information technology would reduce the development time and increase quality. It was decided that the automation of the maximum number of steps is the the basic method to improve the existing process. The conclusion was made on the reason of information system creation to automate process of letters registration and control. The system requirements were formulated. Based on this requirements and terms of implementation, the decision was made to create the system based on Redmine project management system.

The Redmine system was set up and extended with some plugins to meet the standard tasks of letters registration and control process. The following plugins were created:

• Automatic letters linking

• Access authorization for observers

• Provision of a customizable list of employees with the ability to control letters.

Plugins development process was supported by functional automatic tests. The tests were performed with Selenium automation browser tool.

The proposed solution has been successfully introduced into the production process and employed while the development of several spacecraft control systems, including KazSat-2, Electro-L, Elektro-L № 2, Elektro-L № 3, Spektr-R, Spektr-RG.
