Testing Embedded Systems : Do You Have The GuTs for It ?

This article offers a general introduction to testing embedded systems, including a discussion of how embedded systems issues affect testing process and technologies, and how Rational Test RealTime provides solutions for these issues. Many thanks to Paul Szymkowiak, Rational's process engineer involved in the testing portion of the Rational Unified Process®(RUP®), for his improvements to my original text, for his continuous support, and for his glossary of real-time embedded terminology at the conclusion of this article.
