The concept of Continuous Integration (CI) is a powerful tool in software development, and it’s not every day we get a look at how someone integrated automated hardware testing into their system.

Part 1: Different goals and methodologies have long divided hardware and software engineering teams. Some companies have solved these issues, others are working on them. Since the advent of embedded ...

All electronic systems carry the possibility of failure. An embedded system has intrinsic intelligence that facilitates the possibility of predicting failure and mitigating its effects. This two-part ...

Electronic control units (ECUs) are vital embedded systems in vehicles; as such they impact numerous functions in a car and therefore must undergo rigorous testing. In any test workflow, ...

Modular and open test architectures enable engineers to build the right solution for each challenge, whether integrating ...

The growing threat of cyberinfrastructure intrusions from hostile actors is leading to the creation of new security testing mechanisms for the Internet of Things (IoT) software and hardware. That will ...

Testing software is — sometimes — easier than testing hardware. After all, you can always create test files and even fake user input before monitoring outputs using common tools. Hardware though, is a ...

Software-defined radios, instrumentation and test are ramping up alongside a flood of new technologies related to assisted and autonomous vehicles, 5G, and military/aerospace electronics, breathing ...

Scrum has become a popular method for developing and designing software. And why not? There’s clear evidence it improves the resulting software’s quality, shortens time to market, and even increases ...

Why next-generation avionics validation is becoming a value driver for aircraft leases. Avionics are the nervous system of ...

Modern-day PCs are more reliable than ever before, but that doesn’t mean they’re infallible. Equipment failures still happen, however rarely, and even the beefiest of computer components aren’t worth ...
