Abstract

Various techniques for testing embedded software have been proposed as a result of the increased need for high quality embedded systems. However, it is hard to perform accurate testing with these techniques on failures that can occur unexpectedly in a real environment, because most of the tests are performed in software development environment. Therefore, it needs a testing technique that can dynamically test software’s latent faults in a real environment. In this paper, we propose an aspect-based On-the-Fly testing. The purpose of which is to test the functionalities and non-functionalities of embedded software using aspect-oriented programming at run-time in a real environment. Our proposed technique provides some advantages of prevention of software malfunction in a real environment and high reusability of test code.
