I have got a chance to work at previous www.aitecs.com, now Moog as software tester for five months. Worked with software for infusion pumps. It was a great experience for me as a tester and want to share with some impressions. 1. Same rules. The first lesson I learned that same rules for testing apply everywhere. Embedded software frightened a little. I thought it should be very different, and I do not know how to test. I learned that all the rules that apply to web site test, application testing, also apply to embedded software testing. Testing the software of infusion pump got me back to pure testing.

This question have been haunting me. As a more experienced tester, I hope you help me out.
Thanks,

(reading my blogs.. just still not time for testing because of the family. will be back soon)
