Software Testing for Embedded Systems

Software Testing for Embedded Systems

In the recent years, embedded systems have become so complex that the development and testing time is becoming extremely time consuming. As embedded systems include more and more functions for new services, embedded systems are presenting challenges with respect to the attributes of security, scalability availability, and performance with deterministic behavior. This paper presents the issues t...

TTCN-3 for Distributed Testing Embedded Software

TTCN-3 is a standardized language for specifying and executing test suites that is particularly popular for testing embedded systems. Prior to testing embedded software in a target environment, the software is usually tested in the host environment. Executing in the host environment often affects the real-time behavior of the software and, consequently, the results of real-time testing. Here we...

Systematic Testing of Embedded Automotive Software - The Classification-Tree Method for Embedded Systems (CTM/ES)

The software embedded in automotive control systems increasingly determines the functionality and properties of present-day motor vehicles. The development and test process of the systems and the software embedded becomes the limiting factor. While these challenges, on the development side, are met by employing model-based specification, design, and implementation techniques [KCF+04], satisfact...

MBD fOR EMBEDDED-SOfTwARE SySTEMS

(MBD) technologies in various vertical domains, with aerospace, transportation, medical, and the consumer electronics industries being the main drivers. Although well supported by commercial tools, MBD is relatively new to embedded-software-engineering practitioners. In particular, we have recognized from our experience with leading embedded-automotive-software suppliers that applying MBD in em...
