The complexity of today’s embedded applications presents many new challenges for developers, especially with regard to software quality, software test and of course the quality of the test itself. Code Coverage provides a good metric to verify the quality and suitability of the chosen test cases.
The first part of the webinar will introduce the trace -based code coverage feature of UDE®. It allows to measure the code coverage in situations where other code coverage tools reaching their limits:
- where code instrumentation is not allowed anymore,
- where the code is optimized by the compiler and
- if you want to test without affecting the run-time behavior of your application.
The second part of the webinar will show you how to integrate the code coverage measurement into automated test on an example based on a Python script.

At present, most of the time spent on troubleshooting embedded software is not spent on finding and fixing functional errors, but rather on investigating timing issues. This webinar addresses this challenging task.
With the UDE® Universal Debug Engine, the trace functions of modern microcontrollers can be used to observe the runtime behavior of your applications and to measure timing accurately. In this webinar, you will learn what tools UDE® provides and how to use them to identify timing issues in your application. Using a customer example, we will show best practices on how to observe the execution of an application to get the information you need to analyze the runtime behavior. Finally, we go hunting for the biggest timing killers.

In this webinar, we showed the basics of multicore debugging with UDE®. Starting from creation a multicore debug session from scratch we gave an introduction to the UDE® user interface and the specific multicore features. The webinar addressed also the new features of UDE® 2021 that help to keep an even better overview. Using simple examples, we showed how to use typical debug functions to debug a multicore application.
The software architecture of embedded systems is often based on a real-time operating system (RTOS). Its objects and functions add a higher level of abstraction to the embedded software, which of course also affects the debugging. The webinar about RTOS aware debugging gave an introduction into the RTOS awareness of UDE®. A demo showed how to debug an application that is under control of a RTOS.
This webinar covered the powerful scripting capabilities of UDE®. Using the popular Python scripting language along with UDE's flexible and feature-rich software API, we showed how to control the target system, determine the target state, and finally manipulate it - all for automated testing.
