There is a typical development strategy that I believe a lot of developers use to debug and test their embedded software, namely: compile, program, debug, spot test, adjust and then repeat. I used ...

Testing embedded systems, or closed hardware environments where users don't realize the embedded interface exists, is challenging and different because there is no user interface (UI). Instead, the ...

In the age of ubiquitously connected computing, the many embedded things that will reside on the Internet will require a new level of embedded software testing to ensure reliable and safe operation. A ...

A common way to route information through embedded applications is with messages. Unfortunately the timing of their comings and goings can create the most troublesome problems. As a tester looking to ...

How do you know that your software is working the way that it is supposed to? You test it! The real question, though, is "How do you test it?". In the old days, developers used to just manually test ...

The idea of unit testing has been around for many years. "Test early, test often" is a mantra that concerns unit testing as well. However, in practice, not many software projects have the luxury of ...

All electronic systems carry the possibility of failure. An embedded system has intrinsic intelligence that facilitates the possibility of predicting failure and mitigating its effects. This two-part ...

Embedded software and electronics represent an increasing percentage of the engineering content of an automobile. By 2010, electronics are expected to comprise 40 percent of automotive material costs, ...

Sporting enhancements to support enterprise-wide deployments, the STRIDE 2.0 embedded software verification platform provides infrastructure and tools that accelerate integration, testing, and ...

Prepare for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems at MTU. When software lives inside machines, failure isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety, reliability, and security risk. From vehicles and aircraft to ...
