Abstract:	Real-world GNSS receiver testing is an important part of the product development cycle. Unfortunately, traditional testing methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, particularly when it is necessary to evaluate both nominal performance and the likelihood of unexpected deviations with a high level of confidence. This paper describes a simple, efficient method that exploits the unique features of software GNSS receivers to achieve both goals. This approach improves the scope and statistical validity of test coverage by an order of magnitude or more compared with conventional methods.
