Debugging for application Programs running in embedded Linux systems has mostly been done remotely due to the limited resources of the target systems. The gdb, which is one of the most famous debugger in Linux systems, does not support the debugging of the child processes which is created by the fork system call in local and remote environments. Therefore, by using gdb, developers can debug the application programs that have single-process structure in local and remote environments, but they cannot debug the application programs that have multi-process structures by using gdb in remote environments. Also, although developers can debug the application programs that have multi-process structures by using gdb in local environments, it needs additional and unnecessary codings. In this paper, we presents the remote debugging scheme that can be used for debugging multi-process structured applications. The proposed scheme is implemented by using the library wrapping scheme, and also uses the conventional system components such as gdb and gdbserver.

Modules that consist of software are respectively coded in the early development phase and the modules are unified as a software. After unification, the software is repeatedly tested with a given taskset (the set of module tasks that are tested simultaneously) until a required performance level is satisfied. In this paper, we expand the one-module software debugging model of Jang and Lee (2011) to a multi-module debugging model and derive the taskset completion probability and the mean of the completed tasksets under the assumption that the processing times of module tasks given in a taskset are mutually dependent.

In the embedded Linux environments, developers can concurrently debug multiple processes that have parent-child relationships using multiple gdbs and gdbservers. But, it needs additional coding efforts and messy works of activating another gdbs and gdbservers for each created process, and so, it may be inefficient in the viewpoint of developers. In this paper, we propose a mgdb library and mgdbserver that supports concurrent debugging of multiple processes in the embedded Linux systems by using the library wrapping mechanism without modifying the kernel. Also, through the experimentation of concurrent debugging for multiple processes that communicate by an unnamed pipe, we show that our proposed debugging mechanism is more efficient than the preexisting mechanisms.

This paper proposes a new model by combining an infinite-server queueing model for multi-task processing software system with a perfect debugging model based on Markov process with two types of faults suggested by Lee et al. (2001). We apply this model for module and integration testing in the testing process. Also, we compute several measure, such as the expected number of tasks whose processes can be completed and the task completion probability are investigated under the proposed model.
