You’re working on a team project and have made substantial progress. You go to submit your code changes only to find out someone else on your team was working on the same file(s) and submitted their changes before you did. Now you have the problem of conflicting code – and the time required to resolve your changes against the other person’s changes. This is called a merge conflict and can be a source of headache for many developers.
With the growth in the number of electric and autonomous vehicles, where the vast majority of components are built on software, the amount of code in a vehicle is only going to increase. Connectivity, both within the vehicle and outside, is also increasing, meaning that the security of these systems has become more critical than ever before. For any system where there is communication between components or with the outside world, there is an increase in possible software cybersecurity threats.
Software development has changed a lot in the last 10 years. Practically every company is a software company today. And it’s predicted that the next 10 years will have 10-times the change. But let’s take it one year at a time and look into the future of software development 2023.
Often it can be difficult for smaller studios to focus on administrative tasks when key team members wear multiple hats and are constantly being pulled in different directions. That is why we developed Helix Remote Administration, which lets teams focus on their work while our experts set up, maintain, and optimize their Helix Core server.
Today’s military aerospace and defense program offices are assessing and rethinking their approach to cybersecurity. With growing geopolitical uncertainty in lockstep with the rising sophistication of cybersecurity threats, delivering secure systems has become central to national defense procurement and commercial aerospace strategies.
Top technology trends for 2023 continue to focus on AI, edge intelligence, and climate change, but supply chain slowdowns and growing consumer demands threaten the pace of innovation. To remain dynamic in their industries and meet goals of software engineering, software development leaders need to be proactive with their budgeting and time management plans, while ensuring the delivery of safe, secure, and compliant code.
