There is a misconception that control automation only relates to the testing of controls
The truth is far from that
Opportunities for automation can be found across the whole risk and controls lifecycle, and benefits can be created for all three lines of defence, each responsible respectively for operating, monitoring and auditing the controls
What are the different types of automated controls?
The types of automated controls (semi-automated controls and fully automated controls) will ultimately dictate your testing strategy
There is a rhythm on how to test automated controls
You start with validating the data in the system is accurate and complete, then perform a test of one automated control
×Automated control systems are systems that can perform operations on their own without human intervention. They can be used for various purposes, such as energy management, emissions monitoring, manufacturing processes, and industrial automation. They usually involve programmable logic controllers (PLC's) that can handle different tasks and functions.
Automated controls and systems
An automated fare collection (AFC) system is the collection of components that automate the ticketing system of a public transportation network – an automated version of manual fare collection. An AFC system is usually the basis for integrated ticketing.
An automated information system (AIS) is an assembly of computer hardware, software, firmware, or any combination of these, configured to accomplish specific information-handling operations, such as communication, computation, dissemination, processing, and storage of information. Included are computers, word processing systems, networks, or other electronic information handling systems, and associated equipment. Management information systems are a common example of automated information systems.
Autonomous driving system
Automated lane keeping systems (ALKS), also described as traffic jam chauffeurs, is an autonomous driving system that doesn't require driver supervision on motorways. ALKS is an international standard set out in UN-ECE regulation 157 and amounts to Level 3 vehicle automation. It is essentially a more robust combination of adaptive cruise control (ACC) and lane centering assist (LCA). When activated, it allows the driver to do non-driving tasks until alerted otherwise.
An automated (car) parking system (APS) is a mechanical system designed
An automated (car) parking system (APS) is a mechanical system designed to minimize the area and/or volume required for parking cars. Like a multi-story parking garage, an APS provides parking for cars on multiple levels stacked vertically to maximize the number of parking spaces while minimizing land usage. The APS, however, utilizes a mechanical system to transport cars to and from parking spaces in order to eliminate much of the space wasted in a multi-story parking garage. While a multi-story parking garage is similar to multiple parking lots stacked vertically, an APS is more similar to an automated storage and retrieval system for cars. Parking systems are generally powered by electric motors or hydraulic pumps that move vehicles into a storage position.The paternoster is an example of one of the earliest and most common types of APS.
Strategic Automated Command and Control System
The Strategic Automated Command and Control System (SACCS) is a United States Strategic Command command and control system to coordinate the operational functions of United States nuclear forces.
