The current trend is to develop embedded systems using platforms common to many different applications spanning multiple industries, particularly telecommunications. But the advantage gained by using ...

“Mocking your way to the bottom,” Greg Williams and Jordan Schaenzle Atomic Embedded Greg and Jordan plan to provide course attendees with a mechanism to simulate interactions with lower layers of the ...

The idea of unit testing has been around for many years. Test early, test often is a mantra that concerns unit testing as well. By using stubs, developers can test code under realistic and controlled ...

As more complex devices with higher levels of integration are inserted into real-time systems, traditional testing methods are becoming obsolete. The most difficult obstacle to thorough testing of ...

The functionality of embedded systems is becoming more and more sophisticated, and their real-time operation makes the debugging and verification of such systems extremely difficult to do in a ...

The best time to detect bugs is early in the development process. If you instrument your UML, you can even find them during analysis and design. Integration and testing of software is difficult, and ...

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 ...

Taken literally, embedded test is just that: test capabilities that exist wholly embedded within a system. Power-on self-test is an example as is a built-in performance-monitoring feature programmed ...

As memory technology evolves, there is an increasing move towards higher operating frequencies and the use of BGA (ball grid-array) chip packages. This is as true for the DDR/DDR2/DDR3 memory modules ...

The Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA") has issued an invite for proposals from voluntary participants to take part in a pilot project aimed at testing Embedded Supervision practices within the context ...
