Description: Embedded testing refers to processes and methodologies designed to evaluate and validate the operation of embedded systems, which are devices that integrate hardware and software to perform specific functions. These systems are found in a wide variety of applications, from consumer electronics to automotive systems and medical devices. The complexity of embedded systems lies in their interaction with the physical environment and their ability to operate in real-time, requiring a rigorous approach to testing. Embedded testing encompasses different levels, including unit testing, integration testing, and system testing, each aimed at identifying and correcting errors in both software and hardware. Additionally, specialized tools are used to simulate real-world conditions and assess system performance under various circumstances. The importance of these tests lies in the need to ensure the reliability and safety of embedded devices, as failures in these systems can have serious consequences, especially in critical applications such as medical equipment or automotive safety systems.
