Design And Implementation Of An Embedded Software Automated Testing System

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.Nowadays, the technology of software auto testing has become one of the hotspots of software testing technology researching. The scale of software is getting larger and larger with the development of software technology, and the complexity of software is increasing accordingly. In the process of software development, if people test software by hand, the efficiency is very low, and can't fully guarantee its quality. In China, the researching of software auto testing technology is in primary phase currently.The target of this subject is to design and accomplish an automated testing system for embedded software. Based on the analysis of status quo of embedded software testing and in-depth research of auto-testing of embedded software, we bring forward a solution about automated testing system for embedded software of c-language. Then we have broken through several key technologies and accomplished an automated testing system for embedded software, whose function and performance can satisfy our most requirement.
