Embedded Software
Beyond simple input/output data transformation, embedded software is built into the electronics of devices we use every day - cars, phones, TVs, appliances, health monitoring equipment, etc. - to control these systems' interactions with the physical world. Embedded software thus becom... Morees more complex as applications become more sophisticated in systems such as planes, missiles, and process control systems. Developers must consider timeliness, concurrency, liveness, reactivity, and heterogeneity when programming abstractions. Types of embedded software include operating systems such as embedded Linux, Windows Embedded, and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOSs), which are intended for real-time applications and designed to be very compact and efficient, forsaking many functions that non-embedded computer operating systems provide. Communication protocols designated for embedded systems can be closed or open source.

Getting down to business: Leveraging the right static analysis
9 months ago — Arthur Hicken, ParasoftStatic analysis is a development testing activity with the potential to go far beyond simply checking code. When used as part of a policy-driven defect prevention strategy, static analysis can drive a software engineering team’s productivity and minimize fiscal, legal, and ethical risks associated with potentially faulty code. The reason more organizations do not realize the benefits of static analysis, however, is that it’s often homogeneously deployed as a tool for “finding bugs.” But the truth is that there are different implementations of static analysis that serve different purposes in the development process. And while it’s a foregone conclusion that software engineers should run static code analysis, the proper implementation of the right technologies is the difference between wasting time and money and reaching new software development heights.

Static analysis helps manage risk in Java
9 months ago — Jon Jarboe, CoverityWhen it comes to software development, the old adage is best spun in a slightly different way: better “early” than never. Accordingly, static analysis can help those developing in Java to stay one step ahead of potential coding problems.
