Test automation is becoming a critical part of the development lifecycle across all types of products and industries. As automation exponentially increases test complexity, testing teams need a unified, structured solution for automated test management to ensure the highest quality product. To meet this need, the latest Helix ALM Release 2022.2 delivers enhanced automated test management capabilities.

There are many embedded systems out there, but only a few static code analysis tools that realistically support embedded software developers. The recent acquisition of Micro Focus by OpenText, including the Fortify Static Code Analyzer, reignites the question of which static code analysis tool is best for your embedded software project. Between Fortify and Klocwork, our experts have the answer.

Barr-C, the Barr Group’s coding standard, aims to reduce bugs in embedded software, as well as introduce stylistic guidelines to improve maintainability and portability. Here, we explain what is Barr-C, how developers can detect bugs in firmware written in C with BARR-C:1018, and how it can be coupled with guidelines from MISRA.

In this Docker tutorial, you will learn how to create and run Helix QAC as a containerized image. The basic definition of Docker is an open-source and popular operating-system-level virtualization (commonly known as “containerization”) technology that is lightweight, portable, and primarily runs on Linux and Windows. Docker makes it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers.
