ABSTRACT:
A system and method for simulating a networked system for testing of embedded software on an emulated hardware device. The system provides for automated generation of a simulated hardware and facilitates testing of embedded software response to simulated error conditions created by the simulated hardware. Communications from the embedded software are intercepted at a low software level and redirected from the emulated hardware device to the simulated hardware.
