The fundamentals of testing SCADA systems
SCADA is a composition of software with hardware elements that are required to control activities in dams, power stations, oil refineries, extensive server control services, and so on.
SCADA systems are built for highly specific tasks, such as controlling the level of dispatched water, controlling the gas lines, controlling the electric power grid to manage power in a particular city, and various other operations.
The fundamentals of industrial control systems and their components
SCADA systems are Industrial Control System (ICS) systems that are used in critical environments or where life is at stake if anything goes wrong. ICSes are the systems that are responsible for controlling various processes, such as mixing two chemicals in a definite ratio, inserting carbon dioxide in a particular environment, and putting the proper amount of water in a boiler.
The components of SCADA systems such as these are as follows:
