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 ...

There is a typical development strategy that I believe a lot of developers use to debug and test their embedded software, namely: compile, program, debug, spot test, adjust and then repeat. I used ...

With the proliferation of IoT devices come increased embedded security attacks. Historically, embedded system engineers have ignored device-layer security despite the many areas of embedded devices ...

All electronic systems carry the possibility of failure. An embedded system has intrinsic intelligence that facilitates the possibility of predicting failure and mitigating its effects. This two-part ...

How do you know that your software is working the way that it is supposed to? You test it! The real question, though, is "How do you test it?". In the old days, developers used to just manually test ...

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 ...

Generically, embedded test implies a test capability that has been integrated into a product. Of course, whether that product is an IC, a PCB, or a complete system, embedded test means different ...

Advances in very deep-submicron process technology require corresponding investments in design and test. Design infrastructure enabling the achievements of advanced design capability is well ...

Embedding test and measurement instrumentation on chips is not new; it’s been going on for years. What is new is how these instruments can be deployed beyond their original, limited, chip-specific ...
