Van Gemund, A.J.C. Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science Department Software Technology Date 2006-12-31 Abstract Because of constraints imposed by the market, embedded software in consumer electronics is almost inevitably shipped with faults and the goal is just to reduce the inherent unreliability to an acceptable level before a product has to be released. Automatic fault diagnosis is a valuable tool to capture software faults without extra effort spent on testing. Apart from a debugging aid at design and integration time, fault diagnosis can help analyzing problems during operation, which allows for more accurate system recovery. In this paper we discuss perspectives and limitations for applying a particular fault diagnosis technique, namely the analysis of program spectra, in the area of embedded software in consumer electronics devices. We illustrate these by our first experience with a test case from industry Subject embedded softwareconsumer electronicsfault diagnosisprogram spectra To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:c91ef889-f7b6-41c4-9324-57f9d10c89ad Publisher Delft University of Technology, Software Engineering Research Group ISSN 1872-5392 Source Technical Report Series TUD-SERG-2006-007 Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type report Rights © 2006 The Author(s) .
