Solving the “It Works On My Machine” Problem
If you’ve ever tested software and had to report an unexpected problem back to the developer, then you’ve probably heard this frustrated exclamation at least once: “But it works on my machine!” What does this mean? Why is it a problem? More importantly, how can we help avoid future repeats of this frustrating phrase? In […]
Test Driven Development Meets Generative AI
Test Driven Development (TDD) has long been a proven approach for improving code quality in traditional software projects. By writing tests before code, developers can ensure that every function is verified from the start. However, creating such tests is often time-consuming and laborious. This is where generative AI comes in. This new technology can massively […]
Why a „shift-left“ testing approach is not just a new buzz word, but is actually a necessity
In the dynamic domain of embedded automotive software, achieving high quality, safety, and performance is non-negotiable. This is becoming even more important when looking at topics like Software-Defined Vehicles. For over 20 years, our company has enabled automotive OEMs and suppliers to start testing as early as possible in the development process. In the last […]
Seamless Testing for Model-Based Developers: Directly from Simulink
1. The Need for Early Testing Agile Software Development: Agile methodologies have revolutionized software development by shifting testing as close as possible to the development tasks, a concept known as “Shift left.” This approach emphasizes finding problems early in the development cycle, adhering to the principle of “Fail early – Fail cheap.” According to a study, […]
