Abstract

When analyzing the quality of the power meter software, traditional software safety detection tools have limitations such as difficulty in obtaining source code, low test efficiency, and blindness in the test process . Therefore, the binary dynamic instrumentation technology for embedded software is studied, the fast execution path storage and analysis algorithm is designed, the embedded software quality evaluation model is proposed, and a complete solution to the safety detection problem of the electric energy meter is given. Compared with the traditional solution, this paper implements fuzz testing without the need of source code, calculates test coverage, thus improves the reliability of the test, and can scientifically evaluate the software security quality.
