This paper proposes a method to generate test scripts for testing embedded system in an easy manner by using hierarchical checklist. In the proposed method, a checklist is constructed with event, component and command dictionaries. And the test scripts are hierarchically generated based on the dictionaries. Since the physical layer of system input becomes abstract with component layer and event layer by virtue of the hierarchy, It is possible to generate test scripts without complicated system input information. It is easy to generate test scripts for embedded systems with similar inputs using the highly reusable dictionaries. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated with experiments.

This paper describes the implementation of a digital audio effect system-on-a-chip (SoC), which integrates an embedded digital signal processor (DSP) core, audio codec intellectual property, a number of peripheral blocks, and various audio effect algorithms. The audio effect SoC is developed using a software and hardware co-design method. In the design of the SoC, the embedded DSP and some dedicated hardware blocks are developed as a hardware design, while the audio effect algorithms are realized using a software centric method. Most of the audio effect algorithms are implemented using a C code with primitive functions that run on the embedded DSP, while the equalization effect, which requires a large amount of computation, is implemented using a dedicated hardware block with high flexibility. For the optimized implementation of audio effects, we exploit the primitive functions of the embedded DSP compiler, which is a very efficient way to reduce the code size and computation. The audio effect SoC was fabricated using a 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process and evaluated successfully on a real-time test board.

The importance of mobile software test is being addressed to improve the productivity and reliability of the software. Test automation technique based on mobile platform is required for effective application of mobile software test. That is, a technique is needed to generate test case for mobile platform API. When test case generated, software productivity and reliability are improved, while test duration and cost are decreased. In this paper, we identified test case generation scope through previous works about test automation, suggested keyword driven method, a test case generation technique on J2ME platform, and recognized that proposed method can be applicable to generating test case based on J2ME platform.

In this paper, we propose a test case generation method adequate to destructive test of the BLDC(Brush Less Direct Current) motor controller used for the MDPS(Motor Driven Power Steering) system embedded in an automobile. The proposed method is a modified CTM(Classification Tree Method). CTM generates test cases assuming that all inputs are equally important. Therefore, it is very hard to generate test cases for extreme situations. To overcome the drawback and generate test cases specialized for destructive test. a modified CTM that compensates the limitation of traditional CTM is proposed. The proposed method has an advantage that it can intensively generate the test scenarios adequate to extreme situations by combining the test cases generated by the transitional CTM the while keeping the merit of the traditional CTM. The test scenarios for destructive test for the MDPS system embedded in a commercial automobile are generated utilizing the proposed method. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through the test.

This paper proposes a method to generate test cases in an automatic manner, based on checklist containing test cases used for testing embedded systems. In general, the items to be tested are defined in a checklist. However, most test case generation strategies recommend to test a system with not only the defined test items but also various mutated test conditions. The proposed method parses checklist in Korean file and figures out the system inputs and outputs, and operation information. With the found information and the user defined test case generation strategy, the test cases are automatically generated. With the proposed method, the errors introduced during manual test case generation may be reduced and various test cases not defined in checklist can be generated. The proposed method is implemented and the experiment is performed with the checklist for an medical embedded system. The feasibility of the proposed method is shown through the test cases generated from the checklist. The test cases are adequate to the coverages and their statistics are correct.

This paper proposes a method to generate test scripts in an automatic manner, based on checklist used for testing embedded systems in the fields. The proposed method can reduce the mistakes which may be introduced during manual generation. In addition, it can generate test scripts to test various mode combinations, which is not possible to be tested by the typical checklist. The test commands in a checklist are transformed into a test script suit referencing the signal values defined in a test command dictionary. In addition, the method to generate test scripts in sequential, double permutation and random manners is proposed useful to test the inter-operations between modes, a series of operations for a specific behavior. The proposed method is implemented and the feasibility is shown through the experiments.

This paper proposes a method to generate test cases and test scripts from software requirements written in a controlled natural language, which helps develop reliable embedded software. In the proposed method, natural language requirements are written in a controlled language, the requirements are parsed and then inputs, outputs and operator data are extracted from the requirements. Test cases are generated from the extracted data following test case generation strategies such as decision coverage, condition coverage or modified condition/decision coverage. And then the test scripts, physical inputs of the test cases are generated with help of the test command dictionary. With the proposed method, it becomes possible to directly check whether software properly satisfies the requirements. Effectiveness of the proposed method is verified empirically with an requirement set.

Generally, there can be a interface discrepancy between the legacy hardware and the new software in combining new software component with reused hardware components in the embedded system. This kind of the interface discrepancy may cause various types of faults and also result in declining interface fault tolerance. In this paper we propose a method to improve interface fault tolerance. First of all, the new interface discrepancy fault type which has not been dealt with before is to be defined and next the testing method for generating test paths is proposed by considering the new defined interface discrepancy fault type in this paper. Several tests show that the proposed method detects more fatal faults about 7.9% in comparison with the existing testing method for commercial broadcasting receiver. Since the proposed method can provide software developers with test paths to be available earlier on the software development cycle, in addition, software developers can regard on interface discrepancy fault in advance. Consequently, more efficient test planning can be established to improve the interface fault tolerance.

The purpose of this study is to develop a model that can systematically study the whole learning process of machine learning. Since the existing model describes the learning process with minimum coding, it can learn the progress of machine learning sequentially through the new model, and can visualize each process using the tensor flow. The new model used all of the existing model algorithms and confirmed the importance of the variables that affect the target variable, survival. The used to classification training data into training and verification, and to evaluate the performance of the model with test data. As a result of the final analysis, the ensemble techniques is the all tutorial model showed high performance, and the maximum performance of the model was improved by maximum 5.2% when compared with the existing model using. In future research, it is necessary to construct an environment in which machine learning can be learned regardless of the data preprocessing method and OS that can learn a model that is better than the existing performance.
