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 age of ubiquitously connected computing, the many embedded things that will reside on the Internet will require a new level of embedded software testing to ensure reliable and safe operation. A ...

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 ...

Testing electronic circuits has been an important topic in the industry since the first transistor was developed, and today it is as relevant as ever. Test strategies are graded by how close they come ...

While the use of complex system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs has increased, unfortunately, that hasn't increased the time-to-market window for designers and chip manufacturers. As SoC designs become more ...

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 ...

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 ...

Soujanya Annapareddy is a seasoned expert in embedded systems and automation, specializing in test automation, cross-platform integration, and firmware validation. She has contributed to the ...

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 ...
