Embedded systems testing on real hardware
Find failures that only appear when hardware meets software.
Timing issues, hardware-dependent bugs, unstable behaviour and edge cases, found before devices reach production.
Why embedded systems are harder to test
Embedded systems operate under strict constraints - limited resources, real-time requirements and tight hardware integration.
Midair is built for embedded systems where code, firmware, hardware and environment affect each other. It connects static analysis, repeatable device testing and runtime evidence, so a failure can be reproduced and investigated in context.
Challenges in embedded systems testing
Limited visibility into runtime behavior
Lack of observability tools makes it hard to detect issues during execution
Hardware and software interaction complexity
Bugs can emerge at the boundary between hardware and firmware layers
Real-time constraints and timing issues
Timing-dependent failures are difficult to reproduce and diagnose in test environments
Late-stage failures are expensive to fix
Issues discovered after hardware integration often require costly debugging, redesign, or delayed releases.
Reproducibility across devices and configurations
The same test gives a different answer on a different firmware version, device state, network condition or test configuration.
How Midair works with embedded systems
Midair connects Visao, TS Factory and Delta in one workflow.
Analyze before execution
Visao
Static analysis finds code-level defects and violations of project-specific rules before the software is exercised on hardware.
Reproduce the environment
TS Factory
Runs the same scenario across devices, firmware versions, network states and test configurations.
Collect evidence
Delta
Captures what actually happens at runtime, instead of relying on a pass or fail result alone.
Keep the context
Midair
Connects the finding, the test run, the firmware and device configuration, and the runtime evidence into one record.
Static code analysis results, device test runs and runtime data stay attached to each other. The same failure can be opened again after a fix.
Use cases
Midair is built for software whose behavior depends on the hardware and environment it runs in.
Embedded devices and firmware
MCU-based products, RTOS environments and bare-metal embedded software
Networked and IoT devices
Connected hardware that has to stay reliable across firmware versions and network states
RTOS and timing-sensitive systems
Real-time environments where a late response is a defect
Hardware and software integration
The layer where drivers, firmware and application code meet the board
Safety-critical environments
Systems where a failure has serious consequences and the result has to be reproducible
