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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Imperas Software has announced that Razorcat Developments, a provider of software testing tools for the embedded systems market, has integrated the Imperas fast processor reference models into the ...

Embedded systems software can be a big competitive advantage. For a vehicle, software can make an already comfortable ride even more appealing and better than that of a competitive product. It can ...

AUSTIN, Texas – Emerson Automation Solutions in Austin, Texas, is introducing the NI LabVIEW+ Suite for HIL software design and development tools for building and testing embedded computing software.

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 ...
