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
