Taken literally, embedded test is just that: test capabilities that exist wholly embedded within a system. Power-on self-test is an example as is a built-in performance-monitoring feature programmed ...

Let's not beat around the bush. Most embedded engineers believe they can't test their firmware until the hardware shows up. The board is on backorder, the bring-up team is still fighting the power ...
