To adapt the stand-alone testing and system testing for different staellites at the same time,distributed software architecture was introduced into satellite ground test. A generalized software platform was set up with main software ,database and client program based on 1553B.The design of the platform introuced the concept of hardware interface standardization,function modulization and configuration. Firstly, hardware construction and software design of the platform were shown. Then, requirement analysis and software modeling of the platform were done. At last, generalized software platform was realized. The generalized software platform based on 1553B for satellite ground test was verified to have strong commonality and full coverage of tests, which can be better at meeting the test demand of multiple equipments in satellite system.
