593--11 (CERN)

The growing use of embedded processors has resulted in considerable challenges for software and system developers, to ensure that the products they produce function as required, without error. The increasing complexity of these products, and the systems they operate in, adds to the difficulty in testing these products effectively. These challenges will apply to the development of equipment and software for use on the LHC project. This seminar is aimed at anyone involved in the development and/or in the verification of embedded hardware, software or systems at CERN. It will provide an introduction to testing embedded products, and some insights into ways to address the growing complexity of modern embedded products. It will also show some of the methods Seven Layer Communications Ltd. have applied in developing effective test facilities for these products. Seven Layer Communications Ltd. are specialists in testing embedded products, especially for the telecommunications market. The company has many years experience in testing embedded hardware, software and systems, having worked on various test projects requiring over 15 man-years of effort.
