When You Can’t Touch the Code: How to Test Embedded Systems Securely
Embedded systems have outgrown the tools most teams use to test them. Devices are more complex, update cycles are faster, security restrictions are tighter, and lab access is harder to get. But testing methods haven’t kept pace—teams still rely on manual execution, homegrown scripts, and spreadsheets to validate safety-critical systems they can’t install software on, can’t easily replicate, and often can’t connect to a network.
Join Keysight’s embedded testing experts as they break down why traditional automation falls apart in restricted environments—and how a non-invasive, vision-based approach lets you automate what was previously considered untestable. You’ll see a demo of Eggplant testing an embedded system without touching the code, without installing agents, and without needing access to the underlying software stack.
What You’ll Learn
• Why embedded testing breaks traditional tools: The specific technical and operational reasons that web/app automation frameworks fail the moment you point them at locked-down, air-gapped, or custom-UI devices.
• The hidden cost of “smart people building custom frameworks”: How homegrown test tooling creates technical debt, single-person dependencies, and maintenance burdens that compound over time.
• How non-invasive, vision-based testing works: A practical walkthrough of testing embedded systems using screen-level interaction, computer vision, and OCR—no code access, no agents, no modifications to the device.
• Running 24/7 in isolated environments: How to schedule unattended tests, run overnight, catch defects like memory leaks early, and produce audit-ready documentation automatically.
• Demo: Watch Eggplant automate an embedded system, reading the screen via computer vision, executing test flows, and generating results without ever touching the device’s code.
