Making Unit Testing Practical for Embedded Development
Posted on Thu, Dec 15, 2011
In practice, not many software projects have the luxury of building and maintaining a decent and up-to-date unit test suite.
This may change, especially for embedded systems, as the demand for delivering quality software continues to grow. International standards such as IEC-61508, ISO-26262, and DO-178B require module testing for a given functional safety level. Unit testing at the module level helps to satisfy this requirement.
Read the complete "Making Unit Testing Practical for Embedded Development" article by Parasoft's Marek Kucharski to learn how to start verifying code as soon as it is completed—even if the target hardware is not yet built or available for testing. With this strategy, the majority of the problems with the application logic are exposed early and target testing can focus on verifying the interface between the hardware and the software.
