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 ...

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 ...

In the world of embedded systems, it isn’t just the technology that continues to develop and evolve. The tools and the methods used to develop that technology are maturing and improving in tandem. In ...

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 ...

In its latest incarnation, version 2.2.9 of the Tessy application for automated testing of embedded software supports 8051 and C166 compilers and debuggers from Keil Software Inc. Users can now ...

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 ...

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

Medical device companies, especially those with real-time embedded-system products, are often burdened with lengthy verification cycles. Even small development efforts can result in months of ...

In the aerospace and defense industry, reducing release cycles and preventing program delays have become increasingly difficult. In automotive, consumer demands are driving up test complexity and ...
