How Automation Is Changing ALM

The DevOps model has become ubiquitous in product development, integrating teams that historically have worked in silos — to enable faster, more effective responses to business needs. At the heart of a successful DevOps pipeline is a clear workflow that is derived from the development lifecycle. While existing tools are essential to track requirements and artifacts throughout product development, these tools have not always kept up with the complexities of a CI/CD working practice.

Automotive Industry Trends 2022: What Software Developers Need to Know

The automotive industry has been undergoing significant changes as it works to adapt to growing market demands and challenges associated with electric, autonomous, and hybrid vehicles. Here, we take a look at some notable trends that were highlighted in our report, 2022 State of Automotive Software Development.

Software Security in Embedded Systems and Internet of Things

Technology is booming now more than ever, and every day brings new products and functionality for every unimaginable task. It is not just about mobile apps and computers anymore; instead, it is all about embedded systems and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that have quickly become so commonplace in our day-to-day lives. It feels like these devices are running software for just about everything: baby monitors, speakers, fitness trackers, security cameras, thermostats, and vehicles to name just a few.

Agile Requirements and Traceability Basics

Agile has become one of the most widespread methodologies used in product development. As experts and expertise have further developed, it’s become clear that Agile is meant to be adaptive. It should be used to make you more productive, not limit your ability to accomplish your goals. Still, there’s a learning curve — and persistent hesitation — in adopting Agile for teams that require documentation and traceability. Can you create an Agile environment and stay compliant?

Klocwork 2022.1 Launches Kotlin Analysis Engine

In addition, the release includes a number of other significant improvements that greatly enhance the tool’s performance and functionality. Here, we provide an overview of the new analysis engine.

Software Customization vs. Configuration

If you’re looking to buy software for your business, you might struggle to find a solution that does exactly what you need it to do. The more complex the need — application lifecycle management, for example — the less exact the fit. Your final decision will probably depend on which makes more sense for you: customization or configuration. A highly configurable tool may cost more on the front end, but your total cost isn’t just the price tag.
