How do I test coupled systems effectively?

Testing coupled systems involves understanding the interactions between components. What specific systems are you working with?

I'm working on a mechanical and electrical system integration.

For mechanical and electrical systems, you should focus on interface testing and ensure that both systems communicate correctly under various conditions.

What tools can I use for this testing?

You can use simulation software like MATLAB/Simulink, or hardware-in-the-loop testing setups to validate the interactions.

Are there any common pitfalls to avoid?

Yes, common pitfalls include neglecting to test under real-world conditions and not accounting for latency in communication between systems.
