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)
“No one ever approaches perfection except by stealth, and unknown to themselves.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“Kittering’s brain. What we will he think when he resumes life in that body? Will he thank us for giving him a new lease on life? Or will he object to finding his ego living in that human junk heap?”
