Abstract

An embedded system consists of heterogeneous layers including hardware, HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer), OS kernel and application layer. Interactions between these layers are the software interfaces to be tested in an embedded system. The identified interfaces are important criterion that selects test cases and monitors the test results in order to detect faults and trace their causes. Because embedded systems commonly have slow processor and small memory, embedded software must be more efficient and compact against the poor resource. In this paper I discuss some of the tools used to test the target board (embedded system) using host system and propose my tool to write the scripts and detect the defects in the target board. Tool is called as Card Advanced Research Tool (CART) which run on host system.
