One of the areas of embedded software development that engineers seem to struggle with is testing. Engineers often get excited about the design and implementation phases but when it comes to proving ...

The growing complexity of embedded software development requires a new unified, test-driven approach, one that adopts early developer testing practices and implements automated software verification ...

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 ...

Today’s complexity of embedded systems is steadily increasing. The growing number of components in a system and the increased communication and synchronization of all components requires reliable ...

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, ...

One interesting fact that I’ve noticed about embedded software development is that development processes and techniques tend to lag the general software industry. When I first started to write ...

Testing, alone, cannot find all potential failure points for real-time embedded software, particularly in multithreading environments. In part 2 of Sean Beatty's article on errors that escape ...

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

Code coverage measurement and fault injection testing are two very important activities to increase the quality of tests. However, the application of both activities during the embedded software ...
