The book provides a practical and comprehensive overview of how to test embedded software.*The book describes how embedded systems can be tested in a structured, controlled way. *The first complete description of all necessary ingredients of a testing process. *It includes classic as well as modern test design techniques. *The described approach is useful in real-life situations of 'limited time and resources.Technology: More and more our society is pervaded by embedded software: cars, telecom, home entertainment devices are full of software. Embedded systems are becoming larger and more complex with an increasing amount of software, leading to a growing need for a structured testing method which helps to tackle the typical problems in embedded software testing. Audience: Managers or team leaders that are responsible for development and/or testing of embedded software and systems. Also, people who actually perform the primary software testing activities. User level: Intermediate. Bart Broekman has been a software test practitioner since 1990. He participated in European embedded software research projects (ITEA) and is co-author of a book on test automation.Edwin Notenboom has been a professional tester at Sogeti for six years. Together with Bart Broekman, he participated in a european ITEA project on embedded systems since February 1999.

Embedded systems are everywhere. Modern appliances from TVs to mobile phones cannot function without them. Embedded software has become a vital part of a growing range of automotive, aerospace, biomedical and military systems. As many of these applications are potentially life-threatening, the need for rigorous software testing has never been more compelling. This book provides a comprehensive and practical overview of testing strategies for embedded software.

Highlights of the book include:

* An in-depth treatment of test design techniques that can be directly applied in your projects
* Detailed descriptions of roles, tasks and responsibilities with organisational structures to help you to establish a professional test organisation
* Practical advice on testing that works even when time and resources are limited.

Testing Embedded Software is an invaluable guidebook for test engineers, programmers, project managers and team leaders in the embedded systems industry. It is the first book to provide a complete, in-depth overview of embedded systems testing.
