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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the software development process for electronic products is that hardware is not available until late in the cycle. That means embedded software developers need to ...

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 ...

Increased aircraft connectivity enables new services such as predictive maintenance, aircraft tracking, and flight data updates. However, it introduces new security threats and exposes new ...

PX5, a global leader in high-performance real-time operating systems (RTOS) and middleware, today announced off-the-shelf functional safety certification of the PX5 NET embedded TCP/IP stack. This ...

Embedded-systems testing usually requires a logic analyzer or an oscilloscope, but with the MicroBench MB-500, you won’t need either of those instruments. The MB-500, controlled by a PC’s USB port, ...
