There are many books on project management and many on embedded systems, but few address the project management of embedded products from concept to production. Project Management of Complex and Embedded Systems: Ensuring Product Integrity and Program Quality uses proven Project Management methods, as well as elements of IEEE embedded software development techniques, to explain how to deliver a reliable complex system to market. Walks managers through the stages of a project’s life cycle so that they can anticipate and prepare for potential problems This volume begins with a general discussion of project management, followed by an examination of the various tools used before a project is underway. The book then delves into the specific project stages: concept, product development, process development, validation of the product and process, and release to production. Finally, post-project stages are explored, including failure reporting, analysis, corrective actions, and product support. The book draws heavily on information from Department of Defense sources as well as systems developed by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG), General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford to standardize the approach to designing and developing new products. These automotive development and production ideas have universal value, particularly the concept of process and design controls. The authors use these systems to explain project management techniques that can assist developers of any embedded system. The methods explored can be adapted toward mechanical development projects as well. The text includes numerous “war stories”offering concrete solutions to problems that might occur in production. Tables and illustrative figures are provided to further clarify the material. Organized sequentially to follow the normal life cycle of a project, this book helps project managers identify challenges before they become problems and resolve those issues that cannot be avoided.

Software Testing Foundations: A Study Guide for the Certified Tester Exam, 2nd Edition Product Description Within the last 18 months more than 40,000 people worldwide have taken the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) Foundations Level exam, 10,000 alone in the last 4 months. So, where can all these people go to learn what they need to know in order to pass the exam? Now they can go to Software Testing Foundations 2nd Edition, from Rocky Nook's new Computing division. Professional testing of software has become an increasingly important task requiring a profound knowledge of testing techniques. The ISTQB has developed a universally accepted, international, qualification scheme aimed at software and system testing professionals, and has created the syllabi and tests for the "Certified Tester". With authors who are among the founders of the ISTQB, this improved, updated, newly edited 2nd Edition covers the "Foundations Level" (i.e., entry level), and teaches the most important methods of software testing. It is designed for self-study and provides the necessary knowledge to pass the Certified Tester - Foundations Level exam as defined by the ISTQB. It also covers more recent topics, such as test-first approach and risk-based testing. About the Author Tilo Linz is CEO of imbus AG, a leading service company for software testing in Germany. He is president of the German Testing Board and was, from 2002 to 2005, president of the ISTQB. His work emphasis is consulting and coaching projects about software quality management and optimizing software development and testing processes. Hans Schaefer is independent consultant in software testing in Norway. He is president of the Norwegian Testing Board. He has been consulting and teaching software testing methods since 1984. He organizes the Norwegian Special Interest Group in Software Testing for Western Norway. His work emphasis is consulting, teaching and coaching test process improvement and test

Book overview -- Fail-safe performance is of paramount importance in the realm of real-time and embedded systems. -- Practical techniques and specific instruction on a proven method to organizing and implementing the testing of embedded software -- Thoroughly explores the organizational issues that are involved in the testing of embedded systems The embedded systems world is a rapidly growing industry. Embedded software can be found in a wide variety of devices -- from alarm clocks, to automobiles, to missile guidance systems. In fact, embedded systems are becoming ubiquitous. In this unique area of development, performance is of paramount importance. These specialized systems are highly intolerant of errors. Therefore, ensuring the performance of embedded software through a comprehensive testing program is a very sensible idea. In this new book, testing experts Bart Broekman and Edwin Notenboom spell out a proven method for organizing and implementing a successful testing program for your oganization.

Product Description Software testing is a critical aspect of the software development process, and this heavily illustrated reference takes professionals on a complete tour of this increasingly important, multi-dimensional area. The book offers a practical understanding of all the most critical software testing topics and their relationships and inter-dependencies. This unique resources utilizes a wealth of graphics that support the discussions to offer a clear overview of software testing, from the definition of testing, handling failures, faults, and errors, and the value and purpose of testing, to the cost of fault corrections, scoping of the test effort, and how standards guide testing. Practitioners find numerous examples and exercises presented in each chapter to help ensure a complete understanding of the material. About the Author Anne Mette Jonassen Hass is a senior software consultant in the IT Processes Department at DELTA (Danish Electronics, Lights and Acoustics). Mrs. Hass is a frequent speaker at national and international conferences. She has extensive industry experience in all aspects of software development, and holds an M.Sc. in Civil Engineering from the technical University of Denmark and an M.B.A. in organizational behavior from Harriot Watt University, Edinburgh.

Managing the Test People was written for managers, leads, and people who may soon find themselves in a technical leadership position. It focuses on some of the unique problems in the software quality assurance profession, yet the bulk of the book is applicable to any technical management job. It provides practical advice for the novice and affirmation for the expert. It contains real world stories illustrating the concepts discussed in the text. This book is written from a practitioner's viewpoint. The author has been in software management for over 20 years, working in a variety of companies, and has always been struck by the lack of practical, real world advice found only in general management books. Yes, all those methods should theoretically work, until you add in the politics of the environment, the technical work that must be done and, of course, those pesky people who seem intent on fouling up your plans. Managing the Test People is real - it's about the real world where there are real problems and real people, and it provides viable solutions that can actually be implemented.

2007 Embedded Systems Conference 333 KB (19 pages) April 05, 2007 James Grenning Object Mentor Software is hard. Embedded software is doubly so. Embedded projects often suffer from long development cycles, late delivery, unpredictable schedules, poor quality, missed customer expectations, and developer burnout. These problems often interact to become a positive feedback loop: unpredictable delivery leads to schedule pressure and unrealistic plans; schedule pressure leads to long hours and short-cuts; long hours lead to burn out; and on and on. Agile Development has been effective at improving the performance of many software development teams. Their productivity has increased and become more predictable; and their defect rates have fallen; sometimes by as much as an order of magnitude. This paper describes Agile Development practices that can improve development performance, including iterative development, test-driven development, and special business practices.

This describes the overall structure of the TMMi Reference Model and includes details of Levels 2 and 3 of the model. All process areas at levels 2 and 3 are detailed including supporting practices and sub-practices.
