Ensuring embedded Linux system quality

Embedded Linux systems serve as the backbone for a myriad of applications. Often comprising intricate combinations of OS, kernels, and drivers, these systems make automated testing a useful way to ensure robustness.

Embedded testing tips & tricks

Manual vs automation testing

Manual testing requires a tester to manually run tests to identify bugs, whereas automation testing uses tools to automatically execute test scripts and verify the software. This enables repetitive and regression tests to be conducted without manual effort.

Using JUnit XML for embedded testing reporting

The JUnit-XML format is a critical tool for representing test results, providing a structured and detailed approach to integration, analysis, and reporting in automated testing environments. Its compatibility with a wide range of tools and frameworks makes it an essential standard for effective test result management.

How to build a test bench for embedded system testing?

Embedded testing has become an essential part of embedded devices development and maintenance process. One tool that stands out in this landscape is the test bench. Discover more about what it encompasses and how to set it up for your specific hardware.

Black box vs white box testing

In software testing, two main methodologies — black box and white box testing — are used to ensure the functionality and robustness of an embedded system. Both methods aim to identify defects in the device under test, though their focus vary.
