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 ...

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. The host, Wind ...

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 ...

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 ...

Companies specializing in circuit board and system design-for-test (DFT) tools are pursuing a variety of strategies to serve test and debug applications based on innovations they announced over the ...

We’ve got embedded test, now what?Jeff ChappellThe semiconductor industry no longer needs to be persuaded to utilise design for test (DFT) and embedded test techniques; now it wants to know what else ...

“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 ...

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 ...

The functionality of embedded systems is becoming more and more sophisticated, and their real-time operation makes the debugging and verification of such systems extremely difficult to do in a ...

Software testing is the process of checking software, to verify that it satisfies its requirements and to detect errors. Software testing is an empirical investigation conducted to provide ...
