We systematically analyzed previous research works and proposed the definition of scenario, the elements of the scenario ontology, the data source of the scenario, the processing method of the scenario data, and scenario-based V-Model. Moreover, we summarized the automated test scenario construction method by random scenario generation and dangerous scenario generation.

The aim of the I-Ex project is to provide a means to integrate and structure the expedition activity with information from disparate sources and allow access to artificial intelligence technologies where appropriate. This support builds on the more general I-X architecture. I-X's foundations in AI planning technologies allow the invocation of automated planners that are able to suggest potential ways by which to achieve task sub-goals, based on knowledge of the capabilities of other - computer or human - agents that are currently available.
