Software testing for embedded systems

This book describes all the important practical methods of software testing for embedded systems and shows how they can be integrated into a planning-driven or agile project. The testing phases are addressed in chronological order, and the explanations are illustrated with numerous examples from projects with and without safety relevance. Among other topics, it covers: static code analysis, unit tests, hardware/software integration tests, software/software integration tests, system tests, data race testing, schedulability and real-time tests, as well as standards and liability risks. Personal evaluations of testing methods, case studies, and a discussion of testing tools at the end of each chapter provide the reader with important guidance for implementing the material and purchasing tools. It also includes comprehension questions with answers and practice examples.
