Software testing, verification and validation form the backbone of modern software quality assurance. These interrelated activities ensure that a software system accurately implements its intended ...

With the increased use of electronics and software in the automotive systems, there are strict requirements for complex functions to perform safely and avoid causing damages to life and property in ...

When it comes to verification and validation, medical device companies need to ensure that what they're doing actually makes sense. Known colloquially as "V&V," for many it feels like you're on the ...

From my product development experiences, entering into Design Verification and Design Validation is always bittersweet. Exciting because yes, to get to Design Verification means that we have ...

When The MathWorks introduced Matlab technical-computing software more than 20 years ago, many of the first users were control-system designers. Anyone who had laboriously inverted matrices by hand to ...

Every product has defects. Finding them as early in the development process as possible is definitely something to strive for. Building quality into software as it's being developed is far more ...

This paper briefly discusses the approaches for Validation Environment and Test methodologies adopted for 8-bit microcontroller family based products. We would be focusing on modularity and the need ...

Computational models and simulations have had an important role in engineering analysis since as far back as the 1960s. It is widely recognized that the use of modeling and simulation tools can make ...

A key focus of the IC design industry is to deliver first-pass silicon, which means finding most, if not all, of the potential defects before tape-out. This is extremely difficult due to increasing ...

Defining what a processor is, and what it is supposed to do, is not always as easy as it sounds. In fact, companies are struggling with the implications of hundreds of heterogenous processing elements ...
