Construction of distributed embedded software testing environment

Quality is the life of embedded software, and the software testing is a basic guarantee for stable and reliable operation of the embedded system. Looking at the difference in target and development environment for embedded software, to increase the consistency of embedded software reliability testing, it becomes much more necessary to construct embedded software testing environment. After analyzing the Basic Structure, functionalities and characteristics of Distributed Embedded Software Test Environment, instead of adopting the conventional developing pattern, a three-layer development pattern is put forward that can fulfill DESTE based on DESTESS and further construct special purpose testing system for specific embedded software testing application from DESTE. © 2009 IEEE.
