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 ...

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 ...

Every developer wants to develop robust systems. No one wants to point to a product that behaves poorly and say, “I built that.” Many factors come into play when designing and implementing a robust ...

No matter what type of embedded system you build, you must test it. Tests give us a warm fuzzy feeling that our system works correctly under specific environmental and operational conditions. While ...

With the proliferation of IoT devices come increased embedded security attacks. Historically, embedded system engineers have ignored device-layer security despite the many areas of embedded devices ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Embedded systems software testing shares much in common with application software testing. Thus, much of this chapter is a summary of basic testing concepts and terminology. However, some important ...

The right blend of tools, technologies, and strategies can help developers harness the power of CD, enabling higher quality and more robust embedded systems. The convergence of software and hardware ...

Companies specializing in circuit board and system design-for-test (DFT) tools are pursuing a variety of strategies to serve test and debug applications based on innovations they announced over the ...
