In today's interconnected world, embedded systems are ubiquitous – from automobiles and industrial controls to IoT devices. But with increasing connectivity, security risks also rise. Cyberattacks, data leaks, and insecure implementations can cause serious...
Software plays an increasingly central role in today's embedded systems. Systems based on complex microcontroller and processor architectures must offer more functionalities – and in shorter development times than ever before. This presents developers with...
Embedded systems are an important component of today's technologies and enable a wide variety of applications in various fields, such as industry, automation, medical technology, automotive, and aerospace. These systems are designed to perform specific...
Black-box tests using white-box metrics do not result in gray-box tests. However, each of the three fulfills an important role in defining the test endpoint and minimizing the number of necessary software tests. The test endpoint is always a compromise between quality, cost, and time. Do we want to define a...
Our everyday lives are now naturally shaped by interconnected devices and systems. Whether you're using your smartphone to find the fastest route to your destination while out and about, reading the newspaper on your tablet while relaxing on the sofa, or controlling your smart heating system via a smartphone app, these...
Software quality isn't ideal in all projects. Software engineering aims to improve the code in all its aspects. These five principles will help you achieve that goal. Because good code is motivating! You often hear statements like: "Why should I even bother with good code...".
Embedded software development today still mostly takes place in single-core environments. However, software is controlling increasingly complex processes that only function in multi-core environments. This presents new challenges for development. To maintain a high standard in...
The demands placed on safety-related control systems are constantly increasing. Multicore architectures are best suited to meet these demands and are therefore being offered and used more frequently. Safety standards are defined in different industries according to the potential hazards...
In a highly interconnected world, it is advisable to effectively protect applications against cyberattacks. For this, it is crucial that data and communication channels are optimally encrypted. The cryptographic algorithms used in software for this purpose protect devices vulnerable to attacks...
In the software requirements, developers describe the purpose and intent of a software system as well as its (external) behavior. What expectations do users have of the software product, and how user-friendly is it? How clear is the program structure, how well-organized is the...
Software testing is a crucial part of software development. Even companies whose core business traditionally lies in manufacturing and hardware (e.g., in mechanical engineering and the automotive industry) have now recognized the importance of software testing. This...
Whether or not a design pattern should be used is easy for a trained eye to recognize. Design patterns are solutions for frequently recurring tasks in object-oriented software design. In this sense, they play a similar role to the multiplication tables that...
