Embedded software testing: what kind of problem is this?

Abstract

This panel proposes a discussion on the role and challenges of embedded software testing. Invited speakers represent different industrial and academic points of view on this topic. Specifically, the panelists were invited to discuss what exactly defines the test of an embedded software, what is the role of the platform designer and of the software designer with respect to test, how embedded software testing really differs from traditional software testing, and whether current solutions and tools are sufficient for this task.
