Add to basketEmbedded software differs from PC software because it is part of a product rather than the product itself, and its tasks range from automotive control units and industrial machines to life-sustaining medical devices. Testing embedded software requires understanding its unique challenges, including real-time behavior and hardware integration.
Readers will learn how to apply requirements engineering, ensure requirements traceability, and perform automated static analysis alongside professional code reviews. The book covers black-box testing techniques, unit tests, and integration tests to verify hardware/software interaction and system performance, helping readers navigate RTOS, middleware, and concurrency issues. It also shows how AI-based techniques are entering the field of embedded testing.
By the end of this book, readers will be equipped to design, implement, and manage testing strategies for both low and high-integrity embedded software. They will develop a comprehensive understanding of the essentials of test management, quality management standards like ISO 9001, and CMMI. The exercises and solutions will be valuable in gaining the skills needed to tackle complex testing challenges.
What you will learn
● Implement unit tests and coverage.
● Solve unique testing challenges within the embedded software development lifecycle.
● Master requirements traceability and engineering.
● Manage ISO 9001, liability, and CMMI.
● Validate hardware/software integration and interfaces.
● Debug RTOS and concurrency issues.
● Analyze WCET and schedulability.
● Manage test projects, quality, and liability effectively.
Who this book is for
Designed for embedded software engineers, testers, QA professionals, and test managers, this book is ideal for those with a basic understanding of C or C++ and who want to master the software testing environment. It is also designed for developers seeking to enhance their test strategy using AI-based testing techniques and modern automated static analysis.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Biblios, frankfurt am main, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
| Order quantity | 25 to 45 business days | 8 to 14 business days |
