Testing is an integral and important part of any software development cycle, open or closed, and Linux kernel is no exception to that. Developer testing, integration testing, regression, and stress ...

Part four explains how to use breakpoints, event triggers, and program traces to debug code. Part six reviews the common bugs found in DSP applications, and outlines the different testing methods ...

Scan is a structured test approach in which the overall function of an integrated circuit (IC) is broken into smaller structures and tested individually. Every state element (D flip-flop or latch) is ...

The tips and tricks when testing motor-driver ICs on the lab bench can help engineers reduce time spent on evaluating and prototyping motor systems. The first installment of this two-part article ...

Modern multithreaded, asynchronous code can be hard to debug. The complexity that comes with message passing and thread management results in bugs that can seem non-determinant, with little or no way ...

Back in the day, we'd write some code, compile, execute, see what happened and repeat. That was testing. (Sometimes that's still what testing looks like, for better or worse.) Today, we can do a lot ...

Use these structured prompting techniques to improve the quality and usefulness of AI output in testing workflows ...

Complexity of the USB4 Link, due to the 20-Gb/s signal rate and the need to bond for an aggregate 40 Gb/s, among other reasons, requires a coordinated plan to reach its full potential. Here’s a ...

Debugging a chip always has been difficult, but the problem is getting worse at 7nm and 5nm. The number of corner cases is exploding as complexity rises, and some bugs are not even on anyone’s radar ...

The assessment, which it conducted in December 2025, compared five of the best-known vibe coding tools — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Replit, and Devin — by using pre-defined prompts to build ...
