The test driver uses the test instrumentation in the domain under test to trap and substitute messages. Figure 2: Multi-domain testing. Single domain to system testing This test approach is scaleable ...

Test strategies for reducing embedded software development costs Doing C code unit testing on a shoestring The basics of embedded software testing The mock object approach to test-driven development .

Test strategies are graded by how close they come to the ideal test solution, which doesn’t add any cost to the product under test during design or production. Most of us agree that product testing is ...

While the use of complex system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs has increased, unfortunately, that hasn't increased the time-to-market window for designers and chip manufacturers. As ...

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 growing complexity of embedded software development requires a new unified, test-driven approach, one that adopts early developer testing practices and implements automated ...

Such test modes usually accompany memory built-in self test (MBIST) mode, which goes through all the bit-cells for all memory banks in a design. Depending on the implementation of BIST module (Figure ...

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.

A testing strategy should specify in detail what you'll test, how and when (for every stage of the project). It should also note what tools and approaches you can use to do this.
