As more complex devices with higher levels of integration are inserted into real-time systems, traditional testing methods are becoming obsolete. The most difficult obstacle to thorough testing of ...

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 ...

How modern fuzz testing has evolved into a core assurance technique for embedded, real-time, and safety-critical software, and why it’s essential where exhaustive testing is infeasible. How fuzzing ...

With the advent of multithreaded/multicore CPUs, even embedded real-time applications are starting to run on SMP systems—for example, both the Xbox 360 and PS/3 are multithreaded, and there even have ...

As a new generation of computer-savvy users and gamers becomes your primary embedded-device customer, responsiveness and real-time performance become critical evaluation issues. Systems must manage ...

Embedded software, once a challenge to write, update, and optimize, is following the route of other types of software. It is abstracted, simpler to use, and much faster to write. But in some cases, it ...
