ISOBlue software testing

[wang701]

We want to run and automate our tests for ISOBlue's software.

This article helped me understand a lot better what we need to do in terms of software testing for embedded devices (slides on how Google tested Chromecast is particularly helpful).

Our tests should have 2 parts to it:

• Automated tests that run on emulators
• Automated tests that run on real devices

Here are some initial tasks I could think about to get us started:

• Dig into QEMU (or other simulator) and how we could set it up for our testing/simulation purposes.
• Find suitable test frameworks or procedure for testing on real devices.
• Define what tests need to be done.
• Write some very simple tests to get us started.
