Impetus/Customers
|
This is a competence project to investigate new testing strategies
for embedded software.
The potential customers are US electronic instrument manufactures
including Fluke, HP and Intel.
|
|
Objective(s)
|
The objective of this project is to develop efficient new testing
strategies for devices following a model outside the usual
non-software-embedded framework using the concept of Expectation
Maximization (EM). The EM approach is attractive because it would
provide an efficient method for extending HELP, or other testing
tools, to the more complex device model.
