The Test Manager’s Blueprint: Understanding and Implementing Context-Based Testing in Embedded Systems

    Testing embedded systems can seem like a daunting task, especially when the systems involve complex processes and intricate programming. Whether you’re a test manager new to the field or one with some experience, understanding the principles of context-based testing can profoundly streamline your testing procedures. I went through this journey myself, going from a fully abstract black-box approach to testing, at some point switching to the context-based approach. This hasn’t been the last transition for me, as I went back and forth with this several times, but eventually, I think I am settling with the context-based approach as it fits my philosophy and personal approach to testing much better. Considering the above, this article attempts to unravel the intricate web of context-based testing for embedded systems, clarify essential definitions, and use relatable examples and metaphors to make the subject more accessible for you.
