I recently took an extended briefing in the form of attending a regional developers' conference in I-495 tech corridor Massachusetts on embedded development and deployment strategies. The host, Wind ...

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 ...

Having explained in part 1 the nature of the memory test challenge in the industry today, this article discusses non-intrusive debug and test methods based on embedded instruments and how these ...

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 ...

Video interfaces are common in all types of embedded platforms, from single board computers to IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) devices. Production testing the interface's complete path from the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
