Embedded Software Testing Report

1. Report Title and Basic Information

  • Title: Clearly labeled as an Embedded Software Testing Report (e.g., “XXX Embedded System Testing Report”).

  • Version Information: Software version under test, hardware platform model, testing tool version.

  • Author: Test lead, engineers involved in testing.

  • Date: Start and end dates of testing.

  • Reviewer: Personnel reviewing the report (e.g., project manager or quality lead).

2. Test Overview

  • Test Purpose: Describe the objectives of the testing (e.g., functional verification, performance testing, stability testing, etc.).

  • Test Scope: List the modules covered by the testing (e.g., communication protocols, sensor drivers, interrupt handling, etc.).

  • Reference Documents: Requirements documents (e.g., “XXX Requirements Specification”), design documents, test plans, etc.

3. Test Environment

  • Hardware Environment: Detailed description of hardware configuration (e.g., MCU model, memory capacity, peripheral interfaces, etc.).

  • Software Environment: Operating system (e.g., RTOS), compiler (e.g., GCC, IAR), emulator (e.g., J-Link).

  • Testing Tools: Static analysis tools (e.g., Coverity), unit testing frameworks (e.g., Unity/CppUTest), hardware testing devices (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).

4. Testing Methods and Strategies

  • Test Types:

    • Unit Testing: Testing of individual functions or modules (coverage target must be specified, e.g., statement coverage ≥90%).

    • Integration Testing: Interface testing between modules (e.g., SPI/I2C communication).

    • System Testing: Overall functional testing (e.g., boot time, power consumption testing).

    • Regression Testing: Re-testing after issues are fixed.

  • Testing Methods:

    • White-box testing (code-level testing), black-box testing (functional verification).

    • Dynamic testing (runtime testing), static testing (code review).

5. Test Cases and Results

  • Case Format (in table format):

    Case ID Test Item Input Conditions Expected Result Actual Result Pass/Fail Remarks
    TC-001 Serial Communication Send 0x55 Receive 0x55 Receive 0x55 Pass Baud rate 115200
    TC-002 Watchdog Reset Trigger timeout System reset Not reset Fail Need to adjust watchdog feeding cycle
  • Key Content:

    • Must include boundary value testing (e.g., memory overflow, extreme temperature conditions).

    • For failed cases, root cause must be noted (e.g., hardware interrupt conflict).

6. Testing Issues and Defect Analysis

  • Defect List:

    Defect ID Description Severity (Critical/Major/Minor) Status (Open/Fixed/Closed)
    DEF-001 ADC Sampling Value Drift Major Fixed
  • Issue Analysis: Root cause analysis of key defects (e.g., hardware noise causing ADC errors, need to add software filtering).

7. Testing Conclusion

  • Overall Evaluation: Clearly state whether the testing passed (e.g., “All critical function tests passed, meeting requirements”).

  • Residual Risks: List the impacts of unresolved issues (e.g., “Power consumption exceeds limits in high-temperature environments, needs further optimization”).

  • Release Recommendation: Provide a conclusion on whether it can be released (e.g., “Recommend release, but need to fix minor defects in version V1.1”).

8. Appendix

  • Test Log: Original test data (e.g., serial port logs, memory usage screenshots).

  • Tool Configuration: Test scripts or tool parameters (e.g., Python automation test script snippets).

  • Code Coverage Report (e.g., screenshots of HTML reports generated by LCOV).

Notes:

  1. Objectivity: Avoid subjective descriptions, all conclusions must be based on data (e.g., “Reset failure count: 3/1000 times”).

  2. Traceability: Each test case must be associated with a requirement number (e.g., Req-ID: RS-002).

  3. Version Control: The report must strictly correspond to the software version.
