The growth of embedded software in modern automobiles and airplanes presents significant challenges for manufacturers trying to eliminate software bugs and make products as safe as possible.
Developing and testing embedded software with an emphasis on quality can strain the balance of business needs such as short time to market, low test cost, and the ability to meet the technical requirements driven by customer demand for new features and product differentiation.
All embedded system manufacturers face similar demands, but they cannot sacrifice quality when it comes to safety-critical applications. Organizations that can evolve their development strategies to incorporate advanced hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing can reduce spending on software quality maintenance, improve their market perception, and, most importantly, ensure customer safety.
