Thorough testing of embedded systems is required especially when the systems are related to monitoring and controlling the mission critical and safety critical systems. The embedded systems must be tested comprehensively which include testing hardware, software and both together. Embedded systems are highly intelligent devices that are infiltrating our daily lives such as the mobile in your pocket, and wireless infrastructure behind it, routers, home theatre system, the air traffic control station etc. Software now makes up 90% of the value of these devices. In this paper, authors present different methods to test an embedded system using test cases generated through combinatorial techniques. The experimental results for testing a TMCNRS (Temperature Monitoring and Controlling Nuclear Reactor System) using test cases generated from combinatorial methods are also shown.
