Agile methods and practices for embedded systems development

By Ted Rivera and Renate Stueka, IBM Rational Software

The word process is often seen as anathema in technical circles, at times with good reason. Agile software methods and practices form the basis of a process which, when coupled with modelling and other techniques, can more effectively deliver embedded systems.

Technologists tend to fall into one of two categories when thinking of what Agile software engineering may mean for embedded systems development. They believe: Agile can solve all of our problems, or, only an idiot would use Agile in embedded systems development. Both of these categories actually share a common trait: each evidences a lack of understanding of what Agile means. But similarly, there is at times a good deal of confusion about what an embedded system really is...
