Abstract
Embedded software is mounted on the target processor for controlling its dedicated functions. To evaluate functions of embedded software is important because it is intricate to modify embedded software once embedded. However, it is difficult to evaluate embedded software because it varies in kinds, which is customized into each target platform and functional requirements, and all the elements within are tightly coupled. In this paper, we propose the evaluation model reflecting these unique features of embedded software. We present the results of the case studies by applying the proposed model to practical embedded software.
