According to more than a decade long of experience, we have noticed that "Embedded Software Testing" is the most neglected area within Embedded Systems. On one side many companies are ignorant about this concept, on the other side Fortune 500 companies are shelling out millions to just identify the bug. There are many myths among the project teams, hence it’s crucial for the industry to focus on Systematic and comprehensive Software Testing.
Product development lifecycle is incomplete and probably flawed without testing and validation. Before releasing any product, accurate testing is critical. Each component of the product has to be thoroughly tested and verified, to make sure the development takes place as per the requirements. Testing can turn out to be expensive as well as it can be difficult to fit in extra phase within the deadline for companies. It will be wise for such companies to outsource services for testing and validation. They can take help of independent experts who have in-depth experience in testing and has the ability to accomplish the task on time.
