Testing is an integral and important part of any software development cycle, open or closed, and Linux kernel is no exception to that. Developer testing, integration testing, regression, and stress ...

Part two explains the workings of the JTAG boundary-scan technology. Part four explains how to use breakpoints, event triggers, and program traces to debug code. Emulation is a technology used in the ...

With each turn of Moore's Law, designers at every phase in the development process are challenged with new levels of complexity. Chip designers must not only get the integrated circuit (IC) logic, ...

Scan is a structured test approach in which the overall function of an integrated circuit (IC) is broken into smaller structures and tested individually. Every state element (D flip-flop or latch) is ...

Modern multithreaded, asynchronous code can be hard to debug. The complexity that comes with message passing and thread management results in bugs that can seem non-determinant, with little or no way ...

Troubleshooting communications test systems can be made easier if the hardware and software development are separated from each other. Problems can be more readily found and corrected by following ...

In increasingly complex SoC designs, many of which contain multiple cores and multiple modes, determining best practices for testing and debugging is a moving target. Jason Andrews, architect at ...

Application programming interface management company Kong Inc. is expanding support for autonomous artificial intelligence agents with the latest release of Insomnia, its open-source API development ...

Part four explains how to use breakpoints, event triggers, and program traces to debug code. Part six reviews the common bugs found in DSP applications, and outlines the different testing methods ...
