Summary

This paper addresses the need for software component testing in embedded systems because software now makes up 90 percent of the value of the embedded system devices. More so, the software architecture of embedded system devices, in most cases, is componentized in nature. Further to add, at the system level, embedded system devices are extremely hard to test and the defects detected are further more complicated to debug and fix at the system level. Hence, if the software part is tested first by implementing component testing, then, the software components are ensured to be with minimal defects or with no critical defects when the system testing phase begins.
