Test automation in embedded systems |
Test automation in embedded systems involves unique considerations and challenges compared to other software domains. We have to take into account, among many other characteristincs, the hardware dependences, real-time constraints, limited resources: (processing power, memory, storage..), communication protocols, safety and reliability, etc. These special features highlight the need for a tailored approach to test automation in embedded systems, combining software testing techniques with hardware-related considerations to ensure the quality and reliability of the system under test. Test automation is one of the topics we always discuss in QA&TEST, giving it the importance it deserves. Within the dedicated track, we will have Indranil Sinha who will show us what happens to test automation when software meets hardware. Indranil Sinha Born and brought up in Calcutta, India, Indranil has been living in Stockholm, Sweden since 2004. Before accidentally starting his career in software testing, Indranil had been a trained experimental researcher in cancer biology. After obtaining a PhD degree in Biochemistry from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, Indranil pursued two post-doctoral assignments at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm and Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, USA. In 2011, he got a three-month assignment to work at Marginalen Bank within IT. There he found himself exposed to an interesting field of IT in Banking and slowly started to learn new things. 10 years later, he became the founder of brand-new QA department at the same bank and the head of the department. Indranil started his public speaking career at software testing conferences in 2021 and he has coined the terms "Test Automanuation" and "Test Autobahn", two powerful tools in software test automation, innovated under his leadership. With direct support from his organization, Indranil conducted probably the very first software testing conference in Banking and Finance in Stockholm STCBF 2021 and STCBF 2022. One of his innovative work, Test Autobahn, had been selected as EuroSTAR RisingStar Award finalist 2022. Indranil enjoys helping people, inspiring people to start their career in software testing, giving people an opportunity to become software testers, brainstorming new ideas, spending time with his wife and their three children and travelling in Europe.
