Impact of system partitioning on test cost
Ghassan Al-Hayek, Yves Le Traon, Ch. Robach · IEEE Design & Test of Computers · 1997
Well known as an important influence on other parts of a design, hardware-software partitioning also significantly affects test cost. This article provides a method of measuring partitioning's impact based on the cost to test each unit-level component. An Aerospatiale case study illustrates the use of this method as a design.
