Software testing is an important method to guarantee the quality of equipment software. With the rapid development of open source technology, more and more kinds of equipment software are using open source software(OSS). However, the relevant test standards and test specifications for guiding the testing of OSS used by equipment software are lacking at present. This article combines the features of OSS and the testing process of equipment software, proposes for the first time the testing strategies covering the main process of software testing for the testing of OSS used by equipment, which is of great significance in improving the quality of equipment software. This article mainly researches the tasks in test preparation and test implementation stages, and proposes the entry conditions for software testing and the confirmation principles for the testing scope of OSS in the test preparation stage; in the test implementation stage, according to the relevant requirements of equipment software testing, this article puts forward the test specifications applicable to OSS from the perspective of document review, static analysis, code review, and configuration item/system testing processes, and analyzes the potential risks in the implementation process and the feasible degradation strategies.
