Comparing the impact of using different platforms to test embedded systems: a case study
Abstract
Embedded systems testing is a vital step in the development and production of embedded devices. This process can assure developers that the embedded device performs as expected and there will be no harm brought to the user. Debugging embedded firmware is a very tricky and complicated process that engineers will undergo during development. Having the right
tools and environments to achieve maximum efficiency in performance, and quality in test reports and log messages are important and can be a game changer for engineers going through these processes. This study is conducted as a single case study with Scionova AB, an embedded system company, by interviewing the company’s practitioners and running test cases on a virtual and hardware device. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to observe, analyze, compare, and discuss the different ways a chosen virtual device and its respective hardware device impact the testing andndebugging of embedded systems.
