Automated Approaches To Finding WCET
There are many automated approaches to calculating WCET beyond the manual techniques above. These include:
- analytical techniques to improve test cases to increase confidence in end to end measurements
- static analysis of the software (“static” meaning without executing the software).
- combined approaches, often referred to as “hybrid” analysis, being a combination of measurements and structural analysis

Famous quotes containing the words automated, approaches and/or finding:
“Nature is a self-made machine, more perfectly automated than any automated machine. To create something in the image of nature is to create a machine, and it was by learning the inner working of nature that man became a builder of machines.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“I should say that the most prominent scientific men of our country, and perhaps of this age, are either serving the arts and not pure science, or are performing faithful but quite subordinate labors in particular departments. They make no steady and systematic approaches to the central fact.... There is wanting constant and accurate observation with enough of theory to direct and discipline it. But, above all, there is wanting genius.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the middle years of childhood, it is more important to keep alive and glowing the interest in finding out and to support this interest with skills and techniques related to the process of finding out than to specify any particular piece of subject matter as inviolate.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
