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.

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 ...

Key elements that drive a battery-cell tester. Three main architectures used to construct a tester. Battery-cell testers are commercially available at many different levels of performance. Performance ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Software-defined hardware may be the ultimate Shift Left approach as chip design grows closer to true co-design than ever with potential capacity baked into the hardware, and greater functionality ...

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 ...

Software tools for testing Wi-Fi can run on a laptop, but dedicated hardware tools offer the convenience of a sometimes less cumbersome form-factor that are compact enough to fit in the pouch of a ...
