But more thorough testing, using traditional methods, means an increase in the time allocated to product development. There is a solution. Test automation can assist manufacturers in obtaining more thorough test coverage through rigorous, controlled, and repeatable tests. Designers can achieve more thorough test coverage by automating the test and verification process.
Automation can assist in producing a set of comprehensive tests that can be performed consistently.
In many instances, an automated closed-loop environment can perform testing that manual testing couldn t accomplish or would take too long to perform. To receive all advantages and benefits provided by an automated test tool, it is important to plan automation into the test and verification process early in the product development cycle. The purpose of automated testing is to increase test coverage, thus increasing the quality and reliability of the embedded system. More thorough test coverage is achieved through more extensive and better testing. There are many tools available for software testing, but not all of them can provide a solution for embedded software, given its real-time and deterministic aspects.
