Part four explains how to use breakpoints, event triggers, and program traces to debug code. Part six reviews the common bugs found in DSP applications, and outlines the different testing methods ...

Part five introduces the concepts of real-time data collection and data visualization. It also explains how compiler options affect the debugging process. Real-Time Embedded Software Testing ...

Troubleshooting communications test systems can be made easier if the hardware and software development are separated from each other. Problems can be more readily found and corrected by following ...

Back in the day, we'd write some code, compile, execute, see what happened and repeat. That was testing. (Sometimes that's still what testing looks like, for better or worse.) Today, we can do a lot ...

Imagine a world without a global notion of time. Now try to find out the flight direction of an airplane with the following information: There's an e-mail from Alice that she saw the plane about two ...

In increasingly complex SoC designs, many of which contain multiple cores and multiple modes, determining best practices for testing and debugging is a moving target. Jason Andrews, architect at ...

In classical computing, debugging programs is one of the most time-consuming tasks in software development. Successful debugging relies on software development tools and also on the experience of the ...

Why there’s a need for PCIe supplemental tools to rapidly increase time-to-market for cutting-edge innovations. What tools are currently available to provide solutions for PCIe validation issues among ...

So I surfed the computer science catalogs from a few universities. Some offer cool courses like artificial intelligence, programming robots (what fun!), and cryptology. Testing? None, zilch, nada.

There appears to be an unwritten law about the time spent in debug-it is a constant. It could be that all gains made by improvements in tools and methodologies are offset by increases in complexity, ...
