The non-intrusive measurement of structural coverage!

The measurement of structural source code coverage is nowadays defined as an important procedure in many functional safety standards. The non-intrusive measurement of structural coverage offers completely new possibilities in the future. For a long time, it was industry-wide consensus that structural coverage should and could only be determined in so-called white-box tests. In many textbooks, the measurement of structural source code coverage is even promoted as an independent test method. The following blog post shows why things are likely to change in the future.

ISO 26262 calibrateable Systems – Chance or Risk?

ISO 26262 calibrateable Systems are discussed in part 6 Annex C. This blog summarizes important requirements of the standard and shows practice-oriented challenges of software-configurable embedded systems.
The use of calibration data in configurable systems offers a lot of advantages. The functional behavior of the entire system can be adjusted by simple and rapid changes in the calibration data without having to change the source code itself. This enables the multiple re-use of source code. If it is well done, even the unit tests should be reusable, included the measurement of the structural Source Coverage. These are quite important advantages.
