The aim of the course is to cover all aspects of the development cycle of an embedded application on a microcontroller by means of a general methodology of managing versions of embedded software codes (debug, beta, release...). Following analysis, identification and correction of embedded codes in the case of bugs, the student will have acquired notions of bug traceability, visualisation of the state of corrections and the execution of applications.
| On completion of the unit, the student will be capable of: | Classification level | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Managing software bugs | 3. Apply | Important |
| Understanding software development sectors | 2. Understand | Important |
