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 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 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 ...

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 ...

Manufacturers can now validate embedded vision devices reliably, ensuring consistent performance in automotive, industrial, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Embedded systems have become a cornerstone of modern technology, powering everything from IoT devices to automotive control systems. These specialized systems rely on software that is lightweight, ...
