Embedded To Cover Testing Tools Gammacp, Design And Implementation

With the rapid development of computer hardware technology, the scale and capability of hardware of embedded system has been greatly improved. Accordingly, the complexity and scale of system software and application software of embedded system also grow increasingly. Simultaneously the speciality of embedded system asks for embedded software being more smart and reliable. There is no doubt that the R&D of software plays a more and more important role in R&D of the whole embedded system. The quality of software plays a decisive role. So we need a test tool designed for embedded domain to improve the quality and reliability of software and shorten the development cycle.The target of this subject is to design and accomplish a coverage test tool for embedded domain. Based on the deeply analysis and research of function and mechanism of several current popular coverage test tools, we make sure about the technology route and requirement. Then on the basis of digesting the key technology of GNU's coverage test tool GCOV, we have broken through several key technologies and accomplished a coverage test tool GammaCP, whose function and performance is advanced.
