Jump Starting Code Development to Minimize Software Bugs

Debugging an embedded system is one of the most time-consuming and expensive activities that embedded software developers engage in. Survey results show that the average team can spend as much as 40% of a development cycle debugging their software. Developers can easily prevent, detect, and eliminate bugs to dramatically decrease the time they spend debugging their embedded system. In this session, we are going to examine several techniques such as assertions, code reviews, and tracing that can be used to quickly detect bugs. We will develop a robust process that attendees can follow and implement to decrease the time they spend debugging and spend more time innovating.
