Programming Techniques


Programming reliability
Writing reliable code or ensuring the reliability of written code can be a daunting task. Programming techniques must be refined and new methodologies developed to produce software code for embedded systems that is "correct by design." As Jack Ganssle, the well-known embedded-industry guru, lamented in a recent column on embedded.com: "Programmers are writing crummy code; crummy development techniques are the norm, resulting in far too many products that just don't work right."
