Abstract
Generally, due to the strong coherence between embedded software and hardware or peripheral software, embedded software is tested by using black-box test based on user scenario for the whole system. This paper suggests the method to coordinate between testing and debugging under consideration for difficulties on solving out the defects detected from black-box test. First of all, from test result analysis, it builds up the debugging strategies enable to trace the locations of the defect's causes. And along with the strategies, it implements the generator of test scripts to be performed on the emulator environment. Through these steps, it can coordinate embedded software testing and debugging activities.
