A common way to route information through embedded applications is with messages. Unfortunately the timing of their comings and goings can create the most troublesome problems. As a tester looking to ...

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 ...

Every developer wants to develop robust systems. No one wants to point to a product that behaves poorly and say, “I built that.” Many factors come into play when designing and implementing a robust ...

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 ...

Agentic workflows enable AI to write code, debug, and test embedded systems when equipped with proper tools and safeguards.

The idea of unit testing has been around for many years. "Test early, test often" is a mantra that concerns unit testing as well. However, in practice, not many software projects have the luxury of ...

Prepare for Safety-Critical Embedded Systems at MTU. When software lives inside machines, failure isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a safety, reliability, and security risk. From vehicles and aircraft to ...

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 ...

Applications such as smart cards and devices used in the defense industry require security features to ensure that sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a niche requirement ...

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 ...

Applications like as smart cards and devices used in the defense industry require security to ensure that sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a niche requirement met ...
