Today’s complexity of embedded systems is steadily increasing. The growing number of components in a system and the increased communication and synchronization of all components requires reliable ...

Software testing, verification and validation form the backbone of modern software quality assurance. These interrelated activities ensure that a software system accurately implements its intended ...

Every product has defects. Finding them as early in the development process as possible is definitely something to strive for. Building quality into software as it's being developed is far more ...

While often used intermixed, verification and validation are quite different procedures with different goals and different means to achieve those goals. No better way to clear up the confusion by ...

Even with technology changing faster than validation procedures can be rewritten, it still is possible to perform thorough product testing. With the ever-changing complexity of automotive electronics ...

Part 1 of this feature discussed the need for requirements-based testing for traceability and verification, as well as standards compliance for critical software. Requirements based testing, and its ...

This paper briefly discusses the approaches for Validation Environment and Test methodologies adopted for 8-bit microcontroller family based products. We would be focusing on modularity and the need ...

Computational models and simulations have had an important role in engineering analysis since as far back as the 1960s. It is widely recognized that the use of modeling and simulation tools can make ...

Verification and validation are two important steps in the creations of electronic systems and over time their roles, but how they play together is changing. In fact, today we are seeing a major ...
