Automation, simplification, time saving 
Embedded systems for controlling vehicles, construction and agricultural machinery are becoming increasingly powerful, while the control software behind them is becoming ever more elaborate and complex. The more lines of code the programmers write, the more difficult it becomes to ensure the quality of the software. If errors find their way into the end product, failures and malfunctions are literally pre-programmed.
High reliability of the control software can only be achieved through extensive test runs, especially for projects in the widely used C programming language. However, the tests cost time and put a strain on the often short-staffed development teams, as they require a great deal of manual effort: up to 25 percent of resources have to be invested in intensive troubleshooting - until now.
The EDAG Group's Embedded Software team has developed a test environment that eliminates many of the weaknesses of conventional unit testing. It is adaptable to many C projects, user-friendly and reduces the manual effort enormously through extensive automation both in the creation of tests and mock objects.
