Embedded Software Verification and Debugging [Paperback]

This book provides comprehensive coverage of verification and debugging techniques for embedded software, which is frequently used in safety critical applications (e.g., automotive), where failures are unacceptable.  Since the verification of complex systems needs to encompass the verification of both hardware and embedded software modules, this book focuses on verification and debugging approaches for embedded software with hardware dependencies.  Coverage includes the entire flow of design, verification and debugging of embedded software and all key approaches to debugging, dynamic, static, and hybrid verification.  This book discusses the current, industrial embedded software verification flow, as well as emerging trends with focus on formal and hybrid verification and debugging approaches.

Markus Winterholer has been involved in system design and HW/SW development for more than 20 years. Most recently he has been focused on developing and testing software for the financial sector and e-government solutions in Switzerland. Before, he was responsible for the development of several generations of embedded soflÈ
