Testing software is — sometimes — easier than testing hardware. After all, you can always create test files and even fake user input before monitoring outputs using common tools. Hardware though, is a ...

The concept of Continuous Integration (CI) is a powerful tool in software development, and it’s not every day we get a look at how someone integrated automated hardware testing into their system.

Software-defined radio is transforming test and measurement by replacing rigid hardware with adaptable software, enabling ...

The growing threat of cyberinfrastructure intrusions from hostile actors is leading to the creation of new security testing mechanisms for the Internet of Things (IoT) software and hardware. That will ...

Its use results in faster development, cleaner testbenches, and a modern software-oriented approach to validating FPGA and ASIC designs without replacing your existing simulator.

Software-defined hardware may be the ultimate Shift Left approach as chip design grows closer to true co-design than ever with potential capacity baked into the hardware, and greater functionality ...

Electronic control units (ECUs) are vital embedded systems in vehicles; as such they impact numerous functions in a car and therefore must undergo rigorous testing. In any test workflow, ...

Software tools for testing Wi-Fi can run on a laptop, but dedicated hardware tools offer the convenience of a sometimes less cumbersome form-factor that are compact enough to fit in the pouch of a ...

Even after using laptops for years, many users don’t even touch the most important tool: the built-in hardware diagnostics. These tests are preinstalled on every Windows laptop and Mac. Since they are ...

Software-defined radios, instrumentation and test are ramping up alongside a flood of new technologies related to assisted and autonomous vehicles, 5G, and military/aerospace electronics, breathing ...
