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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

“Mocking your way to the bottom,” Greg Williams and Jordan Schaenzle Atomic Embedded Greg and Jordan plan to provide course attendees with a mechanism to simulate interactions with lower layers of the ...

Testing of embedded System is a great challenge for software testers. Testing of embedded systems is most sophisticated and time consuming task because of its different infrastructure, organizations ...

With the explosive growth in the use of microcontrollers, engineers who design products in fields ranging from computers to industrial electronics need to test and debug circuits that include ...

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing is a technique used to develop and test complex real-time embedded systems. HIL simulation provides an effective testing platform by adding the complexity of the ...

Jack Ganssle puts the Agile Manifesto's James Grenning on the hot seat about test-driven development's suitability for embedded systems. Long used mainly in high integrity environments, new unit test ...

From circuit simulation to embedded firmware testing and PCB design, Proteus lets you see how hardware and code work together before building a single board.

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 ...
