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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Embedded systems have become a cornerstone of modern technology, powering everything from IoT devices to automotive control systems. These specialized systems rely on software that is lightweight, ...

Jack Ganssle puts the Agile Manifesto's James Grenning on the hot seat about test-driven development's suitability for embedded systems. Long used mainly in high integrity environments, new unit test ...

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 ...

Built-in test and diagnostics are crucial to sensing and diagnosing failures — potentially saving lives, billions of dollars in liabilities, and reputations. Aerospace and defense system failures have ...

Historically, embedded engineers have ignored device layer security. While chip vendors have added device lockdown and secure boot features, these represent only the first steps – embedded devices ...

With the explosive growth in the use of microcontrollers, engineers who design products in fields ranging from computers to industrial electronics need to test and debug circuits that include ...

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing is a technique used to develop and test complex real-time embedded systems. HIL simulation provides an effective testing platform by adding the complexity of the ...

Many companies that are just now connecting their products to the internet are taking an optimistic approach to security. Big mistake. (Image source: Siemens) Several years ago, I was working on a ...
