Historically, testability is an afterthought in the design process. But heightening complexity of chip designs, and especially SoCs, forces testability (and manufacturability) to take a more central ...

Having explained in part 1 the nature of the memory test challenge in the industry today, this article discusses non-intrusive debug and test methods based on embedded instruments and how these ...

Medical device companies, especially those with real-time embedded-system products, are often burdened with lengthy verification cycles. Even small development efforts can result in months of ...

Scalable PXI-based solution delivers enhanced performance and simplifies security testing for modern chips and embedded devices The Next-Generation Embedded Security Testbench leverages high-speed ...

When a requirement is expressed, the business expects the implementation to just work. But rarely in the history of business or software has there been agreement over whether the final product really ...

Testing, alone, cannot find all potential failure points for real-time embedded software, particularly in multithreading environments. In part 2 of Sean Beatty's article on errors that escape ...

Multi-threaded applications are becoming more sophisticated as multicore and many core platforms become the norm even for embedded applications. I recently spoke with Andy Chou is, Co-Founder and ...
