Article: Automated testing of LED blink interfaces as part of software/hardware testing

14/08/2024

A case study on automated testing of LED blink interfaces as part of software/hardware testing, conducted during a student internship project.

During career fairs and student meetings, we’re often asked about the kinds of projects our interns work on. This question is important because it relates to developing technical competence and engaging interns in hands-on work that will prepare them for further professions.

In the article below, you’ll find a case study prepared by our intern, Piotr Korman. The project involved creating a hardware interface using a phototransistor to convert light intensity into voltage and communicating this data to a PC via the RS232 interface. The software solution decoded various blink patterns to determine the device’s status with high accuracy.


Automated testing of LED blink interfaces as part of software/hardware testing


Introduction of the problem

When thinking of Software Testing, we usually think about applications (be it for Web, Mobile, or Desktop). However, when working in the embedded branch of software development, there is also something called a device test, where the developed software is tested running on real hardware. This test phase requires testing of (among other aspects) all the accessible interfaces, including the most unusual – “non-software” ones.

April events

06/05/2024

Reflecting on a dynamic April, it’s evident that it was a busy time for us.

EmbeddedWorld24 marked another edition we participated in. Again, the most important trade show in the embedded industry allowed us to catch up with our business partners, expand our network, and talk with visitors curious about what we do.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by our stand. We look forward to new possibilities.

💡But that’s not all!

April also brought the annual career fairs. Our team appeared at the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin and the University of Technology Koszalin, to make new connections with the academic community and chat about our internship program and career opportunities.
We appreciate the overwhelming attendance and interest in what we have to offer.

We want to extend our gratitude to the organizers of these events for their professional approach and, as always, warm reception.

➡ Stay tuned for more events and development plans.
