Abstract

Because embedded software is necessarily required to control and operate devices in ubiquitous environments, developers can use a development tool in order to make their embedded software efficient. In this paper, we propose an embedded software testing tool, which supports graphical debugging views of multi paradigms. The tool can improve the efficiency of embedded software through performance testing. The tool provides not only various profiling but also a source-level testing and a unit testing with the graphical views. The tool includes a test suite generator to easily make a test driver, and a report generator to raise reusability of test results by representing string-type results to XML classes. With the tool, developers not only can intuitively analyze functions of embedded software, but also easily improve performance of the software. The tool will be useful for developing and testing embedded software in ubiquitous computing environments.
