Embedded System Testing

Embedded testing services to ensure the safety and functionality of products.

Embedded Testing Services

In today’s technologically advanced world, embedded software plays a crucial role in various industries, from automotive to medical devices, industrial automation to aerospace. These embedded systems are often responsible for critical functions, making their reliability and safety paramount. To meet these stringent requirements, businesses need to adopt a comprehensive approach to embedded software testing, one that encompasses the entire development process.

The Importance of Software Testing Embedded Systems

Embedded systems are the backbone of many industries, and their seamless operation is essential for the safety and functionality of various products. Embedded software testing is the process of verifying and validating the software running on these systems to ensure it performs as intended, free from errors or vulnerabilities. The significance of embedded software testing cannot be overstated, especially when safety is a critical concern. Simple unit testing helps break down software components and reduce dependencies, streamlining the code base and promoting re-use.

Embedded System Testing Throughout the Development Process

Testing is often treated as a final step in the development process, with a “test and fix” approach. This leads to a final test phase at the point of release, where all the various product features are tested together.

With this approach, interactions between new components only become apparent at the end of the development process, making it increasingly challenging to resolve any errors, often with a nonlinear rise in difficulty. Hence, it’s imperative to shift the testing focus from the end to an approach that integrates testing throughout the entire development process.

Embedded Software Verification

During the design verification stage, we evaluate the design’s ability to meet its intended use by testing it under real-world conditions.  This process involves verifying the product’s reliability, durability and functionality to ensure that it meets the requirements set out in the specification.

The Bermondsey Electronics team investigated all the options and understood the complexity of our problem and how dangerous it was for our workforce. We’d already tried to have our product fixed many times and our other providers had deemed it unfixable. Their solution enabled us to finally fix the product and as a bonus, they also reduced the time requirement, cost and complexity of installation.

Frequently Asked Questions on Embedded System Testing

What is testing in embedded systems?

Embedded testing in software testing refers to the process of evaluating software integrated with specific hardware or systems. These systems are specialised computing units designed to perform dedicated functions within larger devices or systems.

Embedded testing is an important stage in software development, ensuring that systems operate as expected under various conditions, are resilient to errors, and meet regulatory standards if applicable.

Embedded software testing presents some challenges that require a specialised approach. Some challenges may include:

  • Resource constraints
  • Hardware dependencies and limited hardware access
  • Real time operations
  • Integration challenges
  • Safety and reliability 
  • Limited user interaction
  • Variety of hardware platforms
