However, without tool support to determine WCET, I know it's difficult to get this value. to check current executed time against an estimate of WCET, you need a measurement of time spent in the current thread (excluding time in interrupts and doing context switched) - in other words, execution time. If you are using an RTOS, it may be able to provide this information for you. I believe that Windows (yes, I know it's not an RTOS) has an API that gives time spent in a thread - downside is that it has low resolution and high execution time overhead.
