The one test every embedded system must pass is the dreaded ground hog test. To perform this test, take your first prototype unit into the lab and connect it to a de-energized power supply. Then stand back, look the other direction and throw the switch. If you see your shadow, there will be 6 more weeks of development.

Despite the peer pressure, I refuse to laugh at this.

Reason for not laughing: too close to reality.
