Supporting Tool for Embedded Software Testing

Embedded software testing is a complex and difficult task. During the testing process, testing tasks often require additional hardware devices to assist. This paper, in the perspective of software solution, presents a supporting tool for testing embedded software. This tool can automatically generate test cases and test drivers, and supports unit test and coverage test which are based cross testing technology and multiple rounds mechanism. The test results can be visually represented to facilitate the observation. By using our constructed testing environment in the embedded platform to do testing experiments, the experiment results show that our constructed testing environment is workable.
